What your solution to the poor speakers in the 986?

I've got an Kenwood amp and MB Quarts left over from my old BMW. I'll be looking into adding them in the future.

Do a search on here for Rear Speakers.. I forget who (sorry) but they posted a great template for your rear storage bin to add rear speakers.. Pics below are what I came up with.. I also have the oem cd player from my 99 if your interested, pm me and let me know..

add new dash speakers. I highly recommend the infinity kappas 42.9i.
The OEM dash speakers are a joke - cardboard from Nokia.
Belong in the clock radio at motel 6.

I just got done installing the rear speaker kit (think it has 3.5" speakers). Does anyone else that has this kit have any trouble eq'ing stuff? It seems like no matter how much I turn down the bass, the rear speakers try to "handle" the bass and sound muddy. They don't seem as loud as the fronts either so it's hard to even tell they're there.

Is the fact that my Fade function doesn't actually do Front to Rear, it only turns the Fronts output down, but doesn't do anything to the rears.

confused...

I added the rear speakers to my existing CDR-220 and the change was very subtle, just enough to add a little sound to the back. I thought about adding an amp to kick-up the back speakers but have not done that yet. Since the speakers are only 3 ½” the frequency response is limited, don’t expect too much.

Mine are the exact same speakers that were in the car when I test drove it. So I got what I expected. They are great.
