OK, these are the speakers that should fit. Note: I did a lot of searching based on the speaker insert diameter, but can't guarentee these will fit.

S275CH - Power Bass 2.5 / 2.75 Inch Speakers - PowerBass

They are Power Bass 2.5/2.75 speakers.

I used infinity Kappa 4"x 6" speakers in my rear compartment. they are slightly angles to fit.
Amazon.com: Infinity Kappa 462.11CFP 4"x6" 2-way plate speakers: Car Electronics

got to remember that you can always cut the "plate" these come in. and yes my sliding door still functions!
ill get some pics up soon

Unfortunately not available in the UK and Amazon.com want $61 to ship ... need to find something closer to home. Maybe I should just buy the Porsche supplied ones but it erks me to pay £30 / speaker for something that isn't very good.

This may be good news for some - HarveyPNP of the custom 986 rear speaker kit fame is not producing any more speaker kits however he does still have a box of the laser cut aluminium brackets for mounting 3.5 inch speakers in the rear boxes. If you are interested drop him an email at harveypnp@gmail.com.

Cost is $30 a pair plus shipping costs.
