Replacing the standard speakers

Sounds like those speakers were a good choice. -

I've not bothered yet. Sometimes it sounds ok and other times not 😁 I've got the top of the tree version head unit, forget the name and I'd go for the Focal speakers which are a direct replacement for the std fit. About NZ$300 a pair. -

Must say, the doors are quite tinny... -

No that's a great question. I can't honestly accurately say. You are right in that the sound will only ever be as good as the source, in this case a Columbus head unit. I'm really looking for the least faff and best bang for buck and assuming the head unit is ok and the speakers close to rubbish. I figure change the speakers and then change the head unit if required later down the track. -

I wasn't planning to but is that the done things these days? I've not mucked around with car audio since my Fiat Uno Turbo days 😆. That's a long time ago! -

Cheers. That's what I'd surmised too but thought I'd check! Not looking forward to pulling the door trim off. -

Thanks. Had hoped that someone who'd done it before knew off the top of their head 😁 Surprisingly many focal sellers in NZ. Obviously quite a popular brand here. -

No ideas anyone? -
Hi all Recently purchased a vRS hatch and would like to replace the standard speakers. Can I ask would the following be suitable front and rear. https://www.focal.com/en/car-audio/car-audio-kits-solutions/integration/plugplay/focal-volkswagenr/is-vw-165 Unsure whether I will need the 180cm or 165cm version. Many thanks Jason
