The first mod that I did on my 2001 Box was to pull the door skins and replace the Bose subs with JL Audio 6.5 inch. At that point I was running the stock amp and stock headunit which sounded much better. Wanting even more umph, I installed a new head unit and 2,000 watt 4 channel amp. I'm still using the stock dash speakers and will eventually upgrade them to MB Quartz. If you replace the door subs you'll need to make a custom install plate out of wood or MDF.

There is sooo much information on this forum about the Porsche stereo including the wire color coding (that was the tricky part that took me a few weeks to figure it out). I have several posting here on the wire color coding...

Search, print and read and you'll learn a ton!

Good luck!
