*Speakers*

[BabyBeetleBug]

Hey all!
Its been a while but I figured Id post here and ask! I'm looking to replace my speakers for my Jude, but I haven't the foggiest idea as to where to start! Any suggestions. All 4 of my speakers are blown, but I have a limited budget. Any ideas? I don't want a system or anything -- but I do like my music louder than the average bear!

Let me know!

Ok you should have posted this in car audio. But what I can say is you are going towant to take those speakers out and measure them for size. Then I would go to amazon and see what you can afford. If you like it loud I highly suggest getting a decent MOSFET amp to power the speakers. If you want more bass response (cuz we all know that bugs have no bass) get a subwoofer. Do you know how to remove the door panel and the rear wall panels to get to the speakers?

crutchfield.com rules! reviews and stats on every product they sell and they have great customer service. I got a full system for the beetle from there and there install instructions are clear and easy to understand

On a side note you said you like to listen to music a little on the louder side. Some well placed moolah on a decent head unit will increase your listening pleasure significantly. The stock units are pretty pathetic atleast in my 1999 gen beetle. I dont know about the newer generations. My best suggestion, buy a decent headunit and some better than stock speakers make sure they arent paper like the stock ones. I would say thats the best way to get some better bump for ur money without going crazy

I've done my speakers plenty of times over and over. I bought my speakers from amazon. During a long period of time about 3 months ago Rockford fosgate was over stocked and they were selling subwoofers for as low as $35. Now I think the price has raised but they still are cheaper than market price. Rockford fosgate has pretty decent speakers and I know that for a 2000 the doors and back speakers are all 6&1/2". Now you don't get low ranges with these and I would recommend getting 6x9s for your backs. Only problem is you'll be modding under your panel to fit the speaker. After that if you get a hi output radio you'll be Loud with out amperage. None the less amount your speakers are always a plus but wiring might take a while. Have fun!

If you need links to recommended speakers pm me I'm usually not on often so I don't really check old threads. Any questions too feel free to ask
