Speaker advice needed...

[flaatr at yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

I put the JBL's and they sound great in the stock locations. My previous 
Scirocco had much more stereo in it and had 5" rounds in the doors with 
Polk satellites mounted higher up... I don't even want to get into the 
rest. I decided with the 16V that my home entertainment system should 
remain at home and that stock speakers would be perfect.

I did however recently pick up a self powered 8" Bazooka that I can pop in 
and out of the back... not too heavy and fills in the lows and it's easily 
removable!!!
