So I'm not an audiophile, I don't want to spend $$$$$ on having something installed, but I drive 120 miles a day and listen to a lot of audio books. I've been reading about upgrading the speakers in my Passat but there are too many opinions on all the little nuances and details. I just want to spend a few hundred bucks on better speakers and some sound dampening/insulation.
1. Component or coaxial? Near as I can tell without having taken the door panels off, the Passat has component speakers but is there already a crossover built in? If I install coaxial speakers in the door, do I need to bypass said crossover?
2. How many watts should the speakers draw? I have the 6MT SE so the basic head unit. It works fine for me and I'd rather not mess with it. How many watts does it put out?
Thanks
