I have fitted Eton F2.1 components as replacements for the factory front speakers, bought from a German dealer here (and delivered quicker than most stuff I've ordered in the UK !):

In 20 years of upgrading car audio, these are one of the most pleasing upgrades I've made. £240 might seem steep but in this car and particularly running off the factory head unit they sound better than more expensive kit that I also tried (including my JL Audio C5-650's, which car audio nuts will know are very well thought of).
They are 2 ohm and very efficient, seem about 3dB louder than the factory speakers at the same head unit volume level. They also go lower, I would say they produce as much 40hz bass as some budget underseat subs I've heard, though obviously they don't hit as low or hard as a proper sub. They even make a decent effort at reproducing a 31.5hz test tone, though not at huge volume. With their silk dome tweeters and decent quality in line high pass filters they also have a much sweeter, more open and less tiring treble. The lower impedance doesn't seem to be a problem for the head unit and Eton sell them specifically for the Mk2 Tiguan so they must be confident in them.
If you are comfortable taking door trims off and drilling and replacing the rivets holding the factory woofers, go for it
I will probably add in a Match 5 DSP Mk2 amp/DSP shortly and upgrade the rear door speakers and build a custom sub in the space occupied by the polystyrene round the spare wheel...
