Charlie,

I put the rear speaker kit in my '01 S. It only adds marginally to the sound quality in the car. In fact, I usually just turn off the radio when the top is down at highway speeds...

I'm my opinion, the rear speakers are either real inefficient or the Becker head unit under powers the rear channels (or both).

Prior to the install I was hoping for the "ahhh- that's much better" effect but alas all I managed was a "maybe I need a bigger amp?"

You are welcome to take a listen to mine to hear for yourself. Perhaps at the next NCR-PCA Autocross event? Or drop me a line and we'll make a plan....

cheers,

-rob
