    Golf R sound upgrade PICS

    Thanks to the guys at Northfield Moorooka who did a faultless job. Speak to Matt or Drew, they know what they are talking about.

    Nice system! Did the tweeters fit in the original location? Did they put in any sound deadening?

    Thanks yes, the OE look is unchanged. No sound deadening, pockets not that deep lol

    Thanks W, I've heard Golfs with Dynaudio, but the aftermarket Dynaudio is far superior. Not cheap though.

    I'll be upgrading in a year or so.

    I always thought the OEM Dynaudio was a bit weak compared to aftermarket and there are some very nice aftermarket head units with far more options and integration than the stock unit.

    Enjoy the tunes mate. Next time we drive up, we must catch up.

    Their is no need to upgrade the head unit, it is quality enough. The weak link is the speakers and amp n(if you have an amp)

    Oh there are some nice head unit upgrades that allow you to custom map the steering wheel controls plus provide a much slicker interface

    The Golf unit is a slug in that regard

    [IMG]door_ps_deadening_inner_1[/IMG]Hi Brimway. It looks great. I also went for the aftermarket Dynaudio 242GT to the fronts with baffles and focal sound deadening all put in by Marty at FHRX in Sydney. The system sounds great - a terrific improvement on the oem - and you cannot tell from looking at the car that its not original which is exactly what I was after.
