Hi there! It's Whitton Car Audio, the guy is very good.

UPDATE
I've just had my JL C3 6.5in tweeters and front speaker upgrade done, £460 total for front inc. labour.

The difference is INSANE, I honestly don't think I'm going to need rear speakers now the front is so crisp.

He also checked the rear audio channel on the stock unit - dead as a dodo. Clearly needs turning on via infotainment, though VW don't seem to think so.

I have a contact at a VW dealership who found a 3rd party company that know how to sort it out in the infotainment system to enable it, I think they quoted about £490+VAT to install and activate the rear speakers?
Glad to hear it was a worthwhile upgrade! I test drove an ID.3 on the weekend and I definitely think I'd need to upgrade the speakers like you.

Were the JL C3s the only ones offered to you, or did Whitton inform you that they were the best choice? I've always been a Focal man and I know they make speakers that work in the ID.4.

Did you have anything else done at the same time for £460 such as add sound deadening material to the doors?

Hiya! Whitton Car Audio recommended me JL C3's based on what I wanted genre-wise (very broad range from metal to classical music!) and my budget.

Glad you're considering the ID.3, my fiancée and I just ordered a second one for her (Family Pro) as we like mine so much.



Nah, just the speakers (front plus tweeters) and labour. The car is already quite well sound insulated to be honest!
Thanks very much for the quick reply! I'm not very far away from Whitton Car Audio so I'll put them on my list to check out when my car arrives.

I just got a quote from a place very close to me and they want £690 for the JL C3-650 speakers supplied and fitted! You did very well to get them for £460, so I'll be sure to hit up Whitton Car Audio when I receive the car.
