I am so much into the inifity's you bought. Have you considered the JL Audio C2-400X? Same price range but I do not know anything else (there were recommended by a friend)

I will set up the account and practice a few times. Thanks!!

yeah I looked at JL and boston acoustics(pricey). Once you get to the level of JL and Infinity, what I have read, is that you get pretty much the same sound quality. I may have to get an amp but I will cross that bridge when I get to it. I just have to figure out what wire goes where. For now I am leaving the door (bass) speakers alone.

Side note, I love clarity on all my sound systems. My home system is 7.2 marantz seperates with Klipsch rf series(not Best buy's). Bass is alright but not high on my list. I am into as perfect reproduction as it can be!!

GOT MY SPEAKERS!!!
Infinity 429I 150W (Peak) 4 -Inch 2-Way Speaker (Pair)"; $64.00
Infinity 4629CFP 180W (Peak) 4 x 6 2-Way Plate Speakers (Pair); $69.00

Ok I got the fronts in, sounded great. I will give a step by step in the DIY forum later on tonight, I did take pictures

They didn't exactly fit in the front housing, but I have a roto zip and they do now!!
The short of it. I just cut out the middle of the houseing and droped my speakers in. A few cuts here and there(will detail later with pics) and they fit like a glove. You can't tell they aren't stock until you turn it on of course. The hard part was figuring out the neg and pos, but i found a trick. It only took about 30 minutes for the first but the second took less than 10 minutes.

I am having trouble mounting my rear 4x6 kappas. There is no way to get them in the end speaker compartments without some serious mods. I am leaning on mounting them to a board and then putting the rear housing around it. I will have to place them in the middle compartment, but that isn't bad as the seats wont block the sound as it would in the end speaker compartments. I am going to look at speaker boxes tonight also maybe an option or maybe just for ideas.

I did find out that my amp is hooked up to only my rear speakers as I had to turn my fade to front=6 to get a good blend. I dont know if that was the BB guy that hooked my radio up a month ago or how porsche has it. I may have to get a better amp.

First impressions: Fronts blow away stock without a frickin doubt, but the rear sound even better, of course they are amped!! Crystal clear loud, I do have a little muffling from the rear but as soon as i turned the bass down it went away.

Anybody know how many channels porsches amp is? I am too lazy to google right now.

but here are the only enclosed speakers I could find and
no pre-built speaker boxes are made to fit anything smaller than 6x9 so I
even looked at marine wakeboard speakers - thought it might be a hoot to attach them to the rollbar.

I am suprised nobody sells a fiberglass speaker enclosure for the rear deck.

Funny you should mention that. That is exactly what I am working on. Product pics coming in a few weeks.
