:confused: is it worth upggrading the standard fit head unit in a 2001 octavia vrs? audio quality is not that good to me (cd)and I have a newish blaupunct mp3 in the garage..worthwhile swap or is it new speakers required?

Definitely worth the swap - IMHO, the head unit is the weakest link. And especially if you've already got a head unit kicking about doing nothing.

You'll probably want to swap the speakers too after you've done the head unit, but that's when you get on the slippery slope...

yup..can see where this is going!

thanx for that..so which after market speakers fit and what would you suggest??

I disconnected both sets of tweeters, then got some Infinity co-axial speakers for the front (had a shallow "basket" so fitted easily into the tight space), and some cheap Pioneer coaxials for the back.

I have heard better set ups with component speakers and subwoofers, comes down to budget and just how good you want the setup!
