but the problem is finding a pair of 5.25" speakers that will fit into the "tuned port" and sound as good using the stock AMP (40W). Most people, myself included, who are truly looking for better sound, upgrade to 6.5 or 6.75" and create a custom baffle to mount them. I tried 3 different sets of 5.25"s and none were better than stock (2 were actually worse). The door panel removal itself is not hard, you just need to know where all clips, screws and misc fasteners are located. Here's a link to upgrading the Boxsters sound system which has instructions on door panel removal - starting at the bottom of page 4.

Good luck!
