Uh, I don't recall any "VW supplied amplifier under the speedometer console," just the brake/clutch reservoir, fuses, and the steering column. The factory setup was the Heidelburg(sp?) head unit powering four speakers, so unless the PO put in an amp, I'd say your installer is mistaken. I _have_ heard of people securing amps to the front crush beam, behind the glovebox ... Your lack of sound / buzziness from some speakers may just be loose connections at the wiring harness -- lift up the ashtray and check the connection between your wiring harness and the four leads running to the speakers.
