A3 Jetta with VW Premieum Sound System

My car has the VW Premieum Sound System with the tape deck with cd changer
controls. Thinking of chaning the deck but I was told by the local stereo
shop the stock amp will need to be disconnected. so I was wondering what
others have done. do you just remove the stock amp and put in your own amp?
if so what amp did you use and did you change the stock speakers? what size
speakers are in those? looks like a couple 6.5's and some other sizes then
tweats.. it sounds good I just want mp3 & cd player deck in there.

Thanks

so then my question would be, can i just buy a adapter/wire hardness and
plug into my deck and use the exisiting amp/speakers that came stock from
vw?

If you don't want to use the old speaker wires you will have to route your
own. If you do use the old ones, you have to get rid of the OEM amplifiers.
And yes, those are 6.5's.
