    The mk2 needs a head unit, pref black, cheap as chips really but not some tin pot humpa junk and must play mp3s pref off a memory stick, the sound system in the mk2 isnt a mad install, just some inifinity 6x9s on a stelth shelf and will have a new set of speakers in the doors soon, the cars mainly a trackday fun toy the sound systems only there to stop me going mad on the way to work / shows / trackdays :lol:

    any reccomendations?

    90 posted brand the the same kenwood jobbie I have and sounds great in the mk4 on stock speakers. No problems so far and always using USB sticks with ease.

    Never spent more than 100 on a headunit as my mates expensive one's never seem massively different when using fairly standard speakers, but guess they sound better on good speakers :)

    You are paying for the high powered amps in them that aren't as good as a proper amp anyway and fancy multicoloured pictures on the really expensive stuff.
