I used a single Polk 3.5 inch speaker on each side. I purchased OEM Porsche brackets, did not know about the aftermarket ones or I would have went that route. I purchased a Black mesh trash can from Bed Bath and Beyond for 5 bucks and made grills and they look great. Back when I was re-dying my carpet I made a wiring harness and installed it so I have 6 conductors going from my head unit to the rear, I allowed two extra wires for future expansion (USB Charging etc). While my Pioneer head is wired directly into my OEM amps using adapters I powered the rear speakers using the AMP in the Pioneer. Mixing just the right amount was easy and the sound is so much better now. Be sure and use electrolytic capacitors as a base filter/crossover and enjoy.
