I just bought a 2007 2dr automatic GTI, Pkg 1 no leather, with sunroof.

With todays technology are all Amps the same other than power rating?

I listen to a lot of AM talk radio so I still need good AM reception.

When I listen to music I listen to all types except RAP, HOUSE, AND

INDUSTRIAL, I do listen to: Bluegrass, Jazz, rock, bagpipes,

pipe organ, motown, country, new age, punk, classical...

I am trying to decide what amps to go with. I think there are some

digital like Alpine. Also a/b, d

Should I go aftermarket head unit or stay stock and do I loose or

gain features on steering wheel or otherwise. I am not interested in

motorcycles flying across the display. I want to be able to read the

station time and important stuff in the daytime. I had a Pioneer

Premier from a few years ago and it was usless in the day.

I have Boston Accoustic Pro 60s I could use(1 set). I also have a

Precision Power Art series A404.2, Mb Quart 300watt sub amp, JL audio

300/2 slash 1.

Do I need some type of Processor like Clean sweep, 3sixty.2 .... If

so which one? One guy said the Rockford 3sixty.2 was a huge pain or

impossible to set up(TWEETER installer).

I do not want to spend more than my car cost on the stereo.

Where should I put the speakers in the doors? build some housing/

structure to put them/ mold them in door?

Should I do something about the back speakers or just unplug them and

use the fronts.

I will buy new equipment if it ends up sounding better and lasting

longer/ less problematic and ends up taking up less space.

ALL WISDOM APPRECIATED.

MAIN THING: QUALITY, AND A LITTLE MORE VOLUME.

THANK YOU.

Lots of questions

For a good review of the 360 talk to sundownz ( Jacob Fuller ) on here . He has one , I'm not sure if he is stil using it or not . But I trust his opinion
