Well, I have a related question: sometime ago I had changed the factory 
front speakers with some basic Pioneer speakers, nothing fancy, simply 
solid, 4Ohm speakers, that can handle quite above 20W (my unit's peak 
power). The rear speakers have long been deteriorated. They always gave a 
nice bass though, so I figured VW must have put different speakers in the 
rear. I called Crutchfield to inquire about rear speakers, and they told 
me that all four Scirocco factory speakers are the same. Hmmmmm. 

So, there are two options: either the previous owner changed the rear 
speakers (because the bass does sound significantly better from the 
rear), or the trunk enclosure serves as a "bass box" and thus makes the 
rear ones sound like they got a much better bass sound (this would also 
correlate well with the fact that whenever I drive without my trunk lid 
on, the sound goes to hell). 

Anybody out there that can answer these? :

** were all four factory speakers the same (I have an 85 8V)
** if so, then the rear speakers give better bass because of the trunk 
   serving as a bass box? 


Thanks,
