Stereo and speaker retrofit- adapters found!

[RJ'sGottaDrive]

It's been awhile since I've posted because my old laptop was running Windows 7 and it wasn't working well with this forum anymore, but now that I finally pulled the trigger on a new laptop-

I've installed an Alpine ILX-650 head unit and I'm really pleased. Enjoying the Apple Carplay features.

The next step is to swap out the speakers. From everything I've read, the only option for the dash and rear panel speakers is to destroy the OEM speaker cages to mount any aftermarket speakers. After much searching, I found a guy in the UK who designed and now sells kits for this application. He's an engineer that saw a problem and fixed it. Unfortunately, the rear panel adapters only work with the coupes. There is just not enough room in the cabrios behind the speakers. The soft top drain channels are in the way. I bought a set anyway, since I was paying for shipping from the UK, thinking that maybe I could modify them, but there's no way. Hell of a nice guy and he says he only makes enough money for a pint or two for each kit he makes. I actually found him on a Boxter forum. The front adapters fit excellent The drivers side was a bit tight, but it worked. So, I have the adapters available for the rear panels that I'll sell. Both kits cost me $100 shipped from the UK. So how about $50 including shipping anywhere in the continental US. I can also put you in touch with him if you wan the kit for the front. Yes, $100 does seem like a lot of money, but not so much if you want to keep your OEM speakers intact. PM me if your interested.
