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.
