Default RE: Just bought a car!


ORIGINAL: sunco1

2001 vw Jetta. 113k miles. 4 speed auto. Its my first car. Ill get my license in may.

How do you guys feel about the jetta? I want to put a sub in it. Its got the stock monsoon radio system. Anyone know how many watts the stock amp puts out? I dont want a powered sub. But if i have to i will. Is it possible to throw a small sub into the moonsoon system? Or does it require a new amp and wire harness? I think the head unit can stay.

thanks
jettas are ok.

they are nice, good handling, safe cars but if they require repair they are expensive.

its a bad idea to put a amp/sub in your first car or any VW for that matter. keep the money for repiar, gas and all that jazz. VW's are not friendly when it comes to raidio systems, if the head is not compatible (many are not) it will shut down the computer system and basically your car will not start- no joke.
