Did you ever consider using 4 speakers like the OEM kit or two rectangular speakers? How's the sound with just two? I find the rear speakers help "fill out" the sound in the 986. It's too bad you can't get the OEM kit for $130 anymore.
Thankyou :-)

I originally considered 4 three inch like the kit but decided as actually you don't need a lot behind you, just something to give it some all round sound and total cost was only 40gbp so about $55. Installing that block connector as I say has given me the option of two more speakers and if I go down that route i'll just re-machine a couple of panels so no biggy but actually listening to it earlier im really happy with it. Adding the crossovers to take out the base was a definite so the low tones are coming from low down in the middle of the car and the mid and tweet from all four corners. Its pretty much a perfect setup for me.

Next job is to definitely replace all the existing speakers with JBL's. I like JBL's as they are made by Harmon. My Range Rover sport had the Harmon kardon system in it and it sounded awesome so chose the JBL route as they are a good price for a decent speaker.
