And the way the wires are already ran thru my car aftermarket I will have to run all these speakers into one channel. there is only one positive and negative wire running to the rear of my car ...... there is a little sub-woofer under the passenger seat that I will be disconnecting to run this sound bar thing.

Rear speaker upgrade a MUST

Hi there,

Last month I completely took out all the old (standard) stereo equipment from my 02 boxster, including the amp under the front hood.

I put in the rear speaker shelf, had 2 new pioneer speakers put into the dashboard, replaced the door woofers with new pioneer speakers and replaced the head unit cdr 220 (and cup holders) with a double din size Pioneer avr 4300bt model. The door and dashboard speakers are set as the front speakers.

Sound quality is now pretty good but still lacks the big bass sound, but 10 x better than before. Rear sound is a must if you want a half decent sound in a boxster.

I spent a total of about 750€ including install from the best installer in town. The rear speaker kit I bought in ebay for around 250 USD, and they install into the existing storage box.

So for now Im happy.

It's really embarrassing that my Honda Fit Sport DD has ten times the stereo of my 987. And it cost a whopping $16,200 off the Honda showroom.........

I don't waste my time turning the Porsche stereo on. At least the 3.2 induction sound is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeett!!!
