By what you're saying, it sounds like you have the "premium" sound system. The MK2 imo, is one of the most annoying cars to put an aftermarket sound system in. The wiring goes all over the damn car, running back and forth to and from the factory amps/speakers.

Imo, you'll be doing yourself a favor to just completely redo the system and run your own wiring.

It's much easier to take power, acc, and ground from the clock, and then just run new speaker wire to all the speakers. In the end, you'll thank yourself for not trying to trace down every wire going to and from the amps.

Oh, and don't forget to pull out the stupid factory amps when you're done. They are damn near useless anyways.
