Silver! Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Gamma has rear speaker connectors. May be other differences in power output etc., but that is the main one.It will be a direct swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alecvincent123 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 so if you swap it for a gamma and only connect say the 2 front speaker wires will you be loosing some sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobG Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Only the GTi's were factory fitted with rear speakers. So if you're putting a gamma in a non-GTi then no, chances are you're not going to lose any sound.I've had a gamma in my sport for ages, recently went back to the Beta and the sound quality is noticable different, the beta sounds muffled, the gamma is a lot better (and that's only with the front speakers)Oh, also, the Gamma has stuff like a motorised eject mechanism for the tape Edited January 12, 2012 by RobG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easy Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Sounds like a Gamma is a result then. I have managed to pick up one for free from a friend who is scrapping a car and its got the gamma one i need in it! ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
