Hi MWS,

well i agree with you. The speakers are'nt the best, but they are OK.

The adapters and solutions i've seen to solve the sound problem and were easy to buy and setup were not the solution i would go for if i would do it right.

I'm an audio guy. Really good to me would mean to rip everything out and setup a full active 3-way system plus subs with complete measuring, equalizing and time alignment. Starting with the HU, amps, processor, speakers, noise dampening, building alloy adapters for the dash and so on and so on.

My other car has such an audio system - around 2 weeks of building and installation and another 2 weeks of setting everything up correctly. Result sounds really good to me.

But for the Boxster to me that wasn't the right idea. I don't want to add weight to the car and over all i want to leave it stock. So the idea was to keep it very simple and modify without much effort.
