could be a great deal.

does it include the wiring harness?
are the speakers blown? You kind of have to listen to them to find out

Seller stated it does have a little plug already installed. Is it something that the car is already wired for and it will just be a matter of installing the speakers and plugging them into the existing wiring? He said it sounded like they worked before he removed it but he'll cover me if anything is blown. Thanks Jay

The rear speakers may have the wiring that is in the rear shelf, but not the wiring from the shelf to the radio. If you have a factory amp, the wiring has to go all the way to the amp in the frunk

Porsche doers generally no include wiring for options that were not there when the car was built. This included things like relays, door speaker connections, etc. Unless the car had the rear speakers at one time, it is unlikely the wiring is there
