Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
IMHO, I'd skip the stock enclosures. They can only hold a 5.25" speaker which really has no low end. I pulled mine out and made a custom baffle and mounted 6.75" drivers in there instead. Low end now is great. In fact I turned the bass on the h/u down to +2 and loudness is set to off now. Everything still looks stock, but sounds immensely better (I upgraded the dash speakers too). Here's a link to a template I created to make your own door baffles easily:

and a whole how to guide for upgrading the boxsters sound system (by Andy M over on RennTech):

I'd use Andy's Guide for how to remove the door panel etc. but then sub in my baffle template as it uses all the OEM mounting holes.

Good luck!
