Dynaudio in Mk6 Golf compared to stock?

[DoggieHowser]

I didn't have an rcd510. Mine came with 310. So I swapped it out for an Alpine touchscreen satnav and reverse camera.

So how did you hook your power amp up? Using speaker level?

[DoggieHowser]

Thing is the Dynaudio factory fitted has a Blaupunkt amp so there must be a way to tap into an external amp

Mine had no external amp, unlike the MKV GTI I had. I didn't do the install, but yes amp hooked up via speaker outlet at HD

Hi guys I've now got myself a Gold R with the stock sound system and with just over a week of driving, I'm not really that impressed with the sound quality of the stock system. While it has sufficient base, it lacks mid range and clarity which gives a nice 'warm' sound to each song. My previous car was a Mazda 3 SP23 with a stock 6 speaker Bose system which puts this to shame. What are the thoughts of people that have heard both the stock and upgrade? Is $1500 worth the upgrade? Is the stereo the same manufacturer, speaker size etc

I've merged your thread with the existing one on the Dynaudio system.

Lots of opinions on it. The most common seems to be that it's excellent value for $1500, but obviously you can do better if you go aftermarket (and spend a lot more). I love the Dynaudio in my Golf.

A subjective topic, so long as you like it, that's all that matters. eg I like cats

actually, for about the same spend, u can go aftermarket with front splits, amp, and an underseat sub or a small sub.
i did this for my car and it was about $1k installed. granted i bought all my stuff online, as buying locally u will pay more than double.

Very unlikely, but I would check the Jetta forum, the VW website, or the brochure.

i dont think it comes stock...but is the sound system in the highling jetta better then the base jetta?
i had a mad setup in previous car...but have sold it now...and im thinking i wont b able to deal with the new without a sub!
