If you can wait a little bit, I'm going to have an entire after market system available that includes:
Alpine IDA-X100 head unit
Alpine MRP-F300 4 channel amp
focal k2 power 13ks subs in modified Porsche door boxes (drop in solution)
Polk db401 speakers modded for the front speakers
Polk db351 speakers in a Porsche rear storage box

I don't have a price for this setup yet, but I'm not looking to make a mint on this. I'll be selling this once I have my new system in.

Tony

Cheap solution

I had some speaker wire from a previous project and bought some slip-on connectors at Radio Shack that attached to the 4 pins in the back of the radio for rear speakers. The "gagme" Boxster speaker hack suggested that. I connected the rear speakers via the schematic in the radio manual.

I ran the wires under the console, behind the driver seat an up to the soft compartment in a black slip-on wire loom. Connected the wiring to the 4X6 speakers. They fit snug and are angled to the front.

They sound really great. I just need to tidy up the inside of the soft compartment a little and fab up a black mesh so I can unzip the storage compartment and not mute the speakers, which is slightly noticeable when it's zipped.

Total price tag was $45. I'm happy!
