I went with the factory set up. The speakers are a joke, worse than the PNP. Ended up buying $120 worth of better speakers and worked my a$$ off making them fit. Would recommend the PNP.

A big part of the problem is these speakers are run through the radio, not the amp. Others have replaced the 4 chl Boxster amp with the 6 chl amp from a 996 to drive the rears. Some who have done this said it isn't worth the $$$ either.

There are plenty of threads on this topic. Need to decide what level of sound you are looking for and spend accordingly. It's hard to make a silk purse out of this sow's ear.
