[QUOTE="CONSOLIDATED, post: 869462, member: 556419"] I'm not sure about the difference in years between your GTI and my friends, but his already have components, and if that is the case with yours, it would be a lot easier to cut and paste the stock and Diamonds in their original places. Even if your GTI doesn't have comps already, I still think it would be smarter to mount the components in the door. I understand a lot of people have their aversions to cutting up their door panel, but you could easily, EASILY, score some '96 GTI door panels at a local junk yard that match your interior. So many chicks wreck those, Jettas, Civics, and Sunfires I'm surprised the dealerships get any business in repairs at all. If you got those door panels you could drill, cut, paint, sand, fiberglass, and CF your desires/money away. If your GTI is silver or black, the carbon fiber accents in the interior would look good, IMO. I've never used kickpanels, but it seems like the closer the speaker is to your ear, or atleast pointed in the right direction, the better the overall sound quality will be. You might get a few extra years out of your ears with kickpanels though, but I'm not a doctor. I push shopping carts. [/QUOTE]
