[QUOTE="ludo, post: 32660, member: 691"] Hi MK4 GTI 20VT, and welcome! I know almost diddlydum about HT or subs, but the thread at [url=http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,2330.0.html]http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,2330.0.html[/url] might be useful to you if you are considering JBL subs. Gbyleveldt has also done something like that, and I believe was happy with the result. Maybe he'll chip in here? The TA10.1 looks a bit light to me, though it does look nice in terms of just looking nice. If you're into DIYing such things a chip amp (LM3886 or some such) might be a better idea? The powered variety of the Wharfedales used something like that. Otherwise, if you're allergic to circuit surgery, get something used like an older NAD/Rotel/Whatever or so? (I'm always partial to older stuff.) Sure, the Diamond8.1 isn't the best speaker out there, but for the money I think it's hard to beat. Could do nicely. One day I'll have to put very big sound in my MK1 GTX (Bhwoaaa!) to hear it above the rattles. At the moment I'm just listening to the bearings. [/QUOTE]
