I'll keep you posted of my findings. My friend who owns a hifi store here in Turku said he believes the door to hold 6" speakers like other VW cars, but I need to get a verification before I go on and order any replacements. The car dealership said it'll be about 150 euros to replace the speakers. I'm not sure if it's enough to replace the front door speakers or should I change the back door ones as well.

I'm thinking of getting new speakers for at least the front doors. I have this http://www.focal.com/en/expert/280-ps-165-3544052750119.html in mind, but I still need to get the verification from the dealer regarding the size and specs of the door speakers.

I take it that no one has tried to open the speaker housing yet. Will have to try that myself then or ask the dealer.

My problem was that our company policy doesn't allow any sound system upgrades. So basically I'm left with the option to swap in some slightly better speakers myself. I haven't explored the door more closely yet, but doesn anyone know that do I need to take out the whole door panel or is there a easier way to get to the speakers?

I've been driving the new Octavia RS for about a month now. The only big annoyance is the sound quality from the Bolero system. Although I have the bass setting all the way to max and treble almost all the way down, the sound is missing a lot in my opinion. I had the Octavia RS about six years ago and the speakers / sound system in that one provided much more pleasant sound and way more bass. Also my previous car Ford Mondeo (2010) had way better sound quality. I'm not one of those who drive windows open and speakers blaring, but it would be nice to get a decent sound when listening to music while driving. Anyone other noticed this in their new RSs or is it just my car? It would feel strange if they would've lowered the sound system quality over the years.
