Mk3 Audio set up.

Well I got the original eurovox 6330V radio cassette in my car, and I want to run a half decent* stero system off it. Can it be done?

*Now by half decent I mean:
-Clear sound (most important)
-Alright volume, BUT it'll be mostly just normal volume stuff
-Decent bass

Now speakers etc will be changed - so what speakers - and where - will be best?

A good pair of splits in the factory spots (dash + doors) + a decent amp to run them would be a good start.

Do you wanna keep the oem headunit?

No point buying amps and speakers if your source is no good!!!!!!

I cant stress that enough. Your source being your head unit. Upgrading that alone will increase your sound quality. Buying amps and speakers then listening to them off a old tape deck is like have 300hp and no tyres.

Splits will not give you bass. You need splits for the "quality" and a sub for any bass. If you want to run 'actual' bass through speakers you will lose quality.

How much are you looking to spend?

Bugdet is $400. Was hoping for just a speaker swap + amp. Really want to keep the OEM headunit. Ipod connected of course! <3 those crazy germans!

I like it. Its plain, looks good and is functional. The CD input allows an IPOD to be connected - its a 15 yo car FFS, these days they new cars boast about having it. Feels solid as well - unlike some of the headunits I've played with.

feeling solid has nothing to do with the sound quality that comes out of them.

But when using it, makes it all that much better (i.e - german over jap)
