Hey,
Anybody have and recommendations for upgrading the standard sound system in the T5 transporter on the cheap? The van currently has the RCD500 head-unit (looks like it anyway, similar to this one http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/caraccessories/4682543 what ever came as standard on the 08 base spec model) and the sound quality isn't the best, alot of this might be down to vibrations so i plan on putting some acoustic insulation on the bulkhead and floor mats down to help dampen out sound reverberation, what would you folk recommend for head-unit upgrades if necessarily or am i better just upgrading the speakers. Do any of the aftermarket speakers fit in behind the door cards?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
