agree w/ brucelee on the necessity of the rear speakers. spend your money on high quality front speakers / head unit / amp instead. a 2-seat car with an excellent front soundstage has no need for rear speakers at all.

That speaker kit is on sale at Suncoast right now. I only know this, because I ordered it yesterday. HAHA. Nice timing.

Great info. If you are handy with electronics, you can do this one yourself.

Suncoast almost always has the factory rear speaker kit for sale on E-bay; current bid is $205 vs $215 on their web site. I think the list price is like $325 for the kit.
There is also another vendor on E-bay, selling a kit with supposedly better speakers, and a "Buy-It-Now" price of $235, including the factory speaker grilles.

I wrote up an enhanced guide to installing the rear speaker kit, it is posted on the Boxster hacks site at http://www.iq.dynip.com/~gary/hacks/speaker/speaker.html .

Donv, thanks for the info. I’m not sure when I will actually get around to doing this. It’s been way too cold here lately to do anything like this. Maybe we will get one of those random 70 degree weekends we have here during the winter and Ill be able to get em in.

A great amount of the real work is actually off-car. So long as you can drop the top for a few moments, take out the storage box. Then you can do the surgery for the storage bin-ectomies & grilles/speakers install indoors and you'll be ready to make the "better weather" on-car work go that much faster...
