Hello everyone. can someone help me out? ok here's what i'm trying to do. can you tell me if it's possible? I'm trying to get an alpine aftermarket headunit, and 2 12inch alpine subs with a new amp to power that. but i want to be able to use the stock bose speaker system that i have. i want to use the two front door speakers and tweeters and the rear two door speakers. I was planning to take out the back deck to port the cabin. is this possible? thanks for all your help in advance

with porting, either take out the rear shelf speakers and the foam pieces. and / or remove the first aid kit and make a grill to replace it for a bigger port.

Yeah, it's easy. Just get the VW wiring harness and wire that up according to the pin diagram (http://www.club202.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=19298&) and everything should work fine. You can still use the Bose amp to power the front door speakers, tweeters, rear door speakers, and rear deck speakers and the Alpine amp to power your subs.
