A really economical solution is to go to a yard and pickup about 4 or 5 stock
VW speakers.  The reason i say 4 or 5 is sometimes they look fine and sound
like s**t.  No reason.  I compared two that looked identical to the eye and
one sounded great, the other rattled.  I guess something is torn or detached
in the back.  Got all five speakers for $5.00.

I thought about putting bigger, better, speakers in, but talk radio and low
volume rock music are handled fine by GOOD Vw speakers.  Besides, after
rebuilding the engine recently, I listen to my engine more than the radio.
Guess I'm a little paraniod.

Can't beat these for cost or ease of installation.  No drilling, no re-wiring
etc.  If you are going to listen to Ice Cube or Snoop Dog, you'll probably
need something bigger.  :-)  It doesn't sound like that is the case though.
