Gathering info on upgrading the Bose system - some questions

I agree, based on first hand experience, that aiming for high quality sound is futile. The first place I look when thinking about Porsche stereos is Car Audio Innovations. https://cai-store.com/

They do have the installation pieces too. Only issue is they are pretty pricey, but i used their dash speaker mount rings worked awsome.

I have been doing some reading on 996 upgrades door speakers, found some guys used tank 5.25 inch subs in the doors bolt into stock baffles, but uou have to use hole saw to cut hole in back of boxes for magnet. Anyway google 996 upgrades might get some ideas also.

FYI, there are three different factory door speaker enclosures. 97-00 use a smaller enclosure. The Bose and 01-04 use what looks to be the same enclosure from the outside. The only difference between the two that I can see is that the Bose speaker has three mounting holes and the factory speaker uses four.
