There was another thread on here, where someone installed just the Dynaudio amp itself (plug is apparently the same), and it made a pretty decent improvement.

The amp however is something like $800.

Installing the full Dynaudio/aftermarket system would require you to take off the door cards, replace the connectors in the door jambs (no thanks Jeff), rewire the quadlock and do a bit of VCDS coding. I imagine you'd also have to run a new cable through the centre console to the amp.

Plus, chances are you'll have 30 new rattles once you're done.

Personally, I came from a car with an aftermarket system (including a 12" subwoofer) and the R36 speakers still kick ass. Wouldn't bother wasting my money.

My 2c anyhow.
