Can I draw on your collective experience (I know that many of you have upgraded the sound systems)?
My plan is as follows:

1. Replace amp.
2. Replace speakers
3. Replace head unit (the Becker's are actually really good, so want to keep the stock look)
4. Rear speaker kit

If you guys could recommend a few amplifiers, I will see if I can source them here in Australia. I'm not looking to go overboard, so price range is approx. US$500.
many thanks

I just finished doing a complete stereo install on my boxster. Total spent was close to $4,500.00. If you are looking to install rear speaker and already have door speaker i would highly recommend a 6channel amp. I went ahead and installed a six channel JL Audio amp for speakers and also a JL Audio mono channel amp for the subwoofer in the passanger kick panel. If you already have a factory amp, it is very simple to rewire the speakers to the new amp. If you need help PM or Email me and i'd be happy to help you out. Took me about 3days to install everything and about another two days to make a box for the subwoofer.
