I have an MY01 S3 with a Concert HU, BOSE Speakers, and as of sometime early next week a Dension DMP3-A Jukebox in the boot - replacing the SONY MD Changer.
* Was planing to get a SONY CD Changer, but saw the Dension DMP3-A and knew I had to get me one! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif The Dension DMP3-A uses the SONY CD Changer Bus, so I can use the cables I've already run from the dash to the boot for the SONY MD Changer /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

After having read the epic DIY SubWoofer thread on the A3/S3 Forum, it's got me thinking about upgrading the speakers on my car. I'd like to improve the sound, but keep the Concert HU - my car is parked on the street, so any upgrades have to be 100% stealthy.
Q1: How painful is it going to be to replace the BOSE Speakers? Can I leave the posh looking grills in place and swap out the speakers behind? I'm guessing that installing some better quality cable would also be a good idea.
Q2: Is it possible to slave a Power Amp from a Concert HU to run the front/rear/sub - I realise that this is a less than optimal solution to replacing the HU, but stealth is the top priority.
Yeah, I know if I really cared about ICE I'd move somewhere safer with a Garage like Fort Knox, but that's not a viable option at the moment /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
