Door speakers

[boxpriest]

No, my car has dash speakers only. Well, I'm [in theory] not sold on rear speakers, because of their size. They [again, in theory] should be great for heights, but I feel like I'm missing lows – which should deliver bigger door speakers. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Good door speakers will add a lot of sound to the cabin - definitely worth the upgrade. They will help with those lows.

But yeah, while in there, might want to consider just doing the whole thing and adding some rear speakers. They too make a huge difference and since you are running cable all around anyways. And I found it a fairly simple DIY if you have the parcel shelf back there. Just need a few 3.5 speakers.

You can also go crazy and add a powered subwoofer. Kenwood makes one small enough that sits nicely underneath the passenger seat that delivers an okay sound. Definitely helps with the lows.

Giller, can you post pics of your rear parcel set up? Thanks

Sorry mate, no pics and the car is all tucked away for the winter. Come spring I can snap a couple.

I haven't yet put any speaker grills on, so the speakers are exposed - which I like as a look, but they do get a bit dirty, so would recommend some grills.

I would like to +1 on the Crutchfield suggestion.

In fact, I could not recommend another audio company more highly than Crutchfield. They will have everything you'll need to get the job done and have the tech support to go along with it.

I have no affiliation with them. I'm just a customer who has had a great experience with them. In my case I installed a new deck, front, rear and sub woofer speakers into a 2000 Toyota 4Runner. Prior to that install, I had no experience with that stuff. They did a great job.

Now I am seriously considering upgrading the deck in my 986. My big hang up is, I really like the factory look of the CR-210. Sure I could "upgrade" to a CR-220 and then be able to bluetooth to it, but for the price of a used CR-220, I could get a new modern deck from Crutchfield AND upgrade the door speakers.

Either way, give them a call and I'm sure you'll be able to get the help you need to get 'er done.

Good luck!
