Can anyone recommend any speakers to upgrade the front door speakers in my Polo?
Also, has anyone fitted an under seat subwoofer (I need my boot space)?
Cheers

Depends on budget, and the model you choose depends on power expectations/whether you're amping etc.
Alpine, Infinity, JBL at the less extravagent end, or Focal, Rainbow etc if you've got that sort of money to spend.
A lot of "cheap" components have over-bright tweeters. If you're handy with a soldering iron, a 5W or 10W ceramic resistor soldered in series with the tweeter can control it nicely (recently did exactly this with a set of "Juice" components in a mate's B4 passat.)
I've not tried underseat subs, but have considered one for the polo. I've read lots of reviews, and the upshot seems to be that those from a respected brand are OK. They obviously won't sound like a large, conventional sub in a well designed box, but will add some bass.

ive got a set of JL audio tr's in my polo and they work brilliantly. They are usually about £100 for the pair but they are worth it. they are great quality. just make sure you get the component and not the coxtail version
