Fitting speakers into doors

[hatch1517]

Hi all Iwant to fit speakers into the doors of my 97 boxster have new door trims with speaker grills. Has porsche fitted the wiring as standard behind the standard none speaker door trims? If not will a later door loom with speaker wiring and door entery light fit into the door jam plug? If so is it wired to suit or can it be (dose it have vacant terminals to wire through it)?regards Peter

You probably won't have any wiring in place as a "pre-wire." BMW is much better than Porsche when it comes to this. Pulling new wire won't be terribly difficult, but certainly may become time consuming.

I have finaly fitted speakers into my doors 97/ 986. The door loom connector has vacant holes for extra pins I passed the speaker wirring splinto two threw two of them pulled the loom out of the door and used a thin welding rod feed threw rubber boot with the help of some silicon spray wasnt to hard just takes time.I used 996 door trims not sure of the modle had to change the door handle mount plate to fit the cable, the silver handel uses a diferent cable end but you can remove the plastic bush then remove some of the material from the bottom side of the hole so the cable clip can reach threw. Or of course use your old handle.
Thanks for the feed back.

Sorry was to hot to think about photos most things like the plate to mount the speakers into the font doors I found on the net. There is a plug to pass the cables to fit the amp into the front boot behind the battery.Ran the rear speakers and sub wiring under the consol used a bose speaker box with 6 1/2 pioneer crossovers.6 1/2 in the doors and replaced the fronts with 4in alpines.It realy isnt a dificult job just time consuming.
