[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8445076, member: 628688"] You're a perfect candidate for a 5-channel amplifier. A DSP is a wise choice, especially when you're keeping the factory radio. Shipping is probably going to be outrageous to the UK, especially on MLV. Is the noise level really that bad on a CC? Pull back a section of carpet on the floor in the cabin and see what insulation VW installed at the factory. MLV can be a real ***** to install. If the carpet already has a heavy backing I would skip the floor treatments. Unless the back speakers are intolerably poor or will present a load of less than 2 ohms to the new amplifier you could leave those alone. DQ-61 doesn't have a lot to offer compared to the alternatives. It's expensive considering the limited features, and you would be better off with a DSP that at least has an input EQ to correct the factory signal. JBL MS-8 has the best signal correction, and it does a great job of automatically tuning a vehicle in a short amount of time. It isn't perfect, but it's worth a look. It's enough to get you nicely balanced sound and to play a wide variety of material loudly. Do a 5-channel amplifier and build a small enclosure for the subwoofer of your choice. Spend more on a DSP. If you have a Helix/Match dealer nearby consider their VW specific products. [/QUOTE]
