replacing Monsoon speakers and amp in VW

[StickMe4myPaper 10+ year member]

looking for the most efficient way to replace my monsoon system in my 01 jetta. I would prefer to leave the wires that are already running and just put new speakers, amp, crossovers, etc... SQ is my goal but still nice bass. Budget about 500 total wondering what exactly I would up front/ in rear so if you guys could offer some advice and there me some offers thatd be great!

That's going to be a no go since everything runs through the amp which also acts as a crossover

what do you mean? I want to rip all of it out and have a 4 channel goin to each of the speakers theoretically.Then a separate amp to run my subs eventually. Also do i need different speakers in the front vs rear?

The speakers where designed as a set to go with the amp crossed over at the amp. its either you have to rip it all out and run new wires or keep it. I'm sorry in my experience its the only way.

If your gonna gut it all out and just rerun all the wire then it won't be a problem. If your planning to try to use the existing harness then its not gonna work. Are you going to get a new HU.

I already replaced the headunit a while back. So I do have to re run new speaker wires? To be clear, I want to COMLETELY get rid of the MONSOON set up: speakers tweeters amp everything. And replace it with a very nice SQ oriented system

Then if that's the case start running your wires, RCA, remote wires, etc. it was just a little confusing since in the first post you stated that you want to leave the existing wire for your new system.

Already have them run haha I had my subs in but took them out until I can get a better amp. But the speakers are my first priority
