Quick fix for me turned out to be the Suncoast rear speaker kit wired using a 996 Cabriolet amp. The dash and door speaker (still OE) sound improved dramatically and the rear sound is pretty good, too, even if the speakers are about an inch from the seat backs.

I don't think I'm going any farther than this regarding amp and speakers, although Sirius and NAV are highly desired.

Recently did a long 2-day highway trip and the car is too noisy to enjoy stereo in any event. My next sound system upgrade may be quieter tires!
