Door Speakers/Connectors

[nickphillips]

Hi

I think i may have posted this problem before, heres hoping someone can help. :help: I want to fit door speakers but there are no cables fitted. I want to put the cable through the connector on the doors, part # 999.702.259.40 'EPDM'. However i need to get the pins and sockets that fit into the connector. It dosnt appear to be available from porsche, anybody any ideas of where to source them. Could these be 'litton' or amp connectors?. I hope this makes sense. :eek:

Any help would be really appreciated.

sorry, i don't know anything about adding door speakers, but i do question why you would add them instead of an excellent quality subwoofer.

i'm not sure which year your car is, etc. but i'm guessing that you do not have the M490 HiFi sound package which includes a 4x40 amp, and the door subs in addition to the dash speakers. so, in the M490 package the door speakers are only subwoofers. which brings me to my question again, why not just get a good sub and leave the doors alone? the sound quality would be much better and it would be much less of a hassle than tearing apart your doors, finding connectors, etc.

please don't take this the wrong way. if you really want to put door speakers in, go for it. but i just wanted to point out an alternative that may make you just as happy, or even more.

personally, i would get a good quality amp, dash speakers and a custom boxster sub.

good luck in whatever you decide!

I agree, recently I upgrade my dashboard speakers and I was going to upgrade my door speakers too.

But then after removing dash speakers and while testing.. realized door speakers are subwoofers... If I didn't test them I could a ruin my sound setup. Just upgrading my dashboard speakers did improve sound quality. next project, rear speaker... because there are non right now. :lol:

which speakers did you put in the dash, how much $$$, and how difficult was the install? just curious...

you can put any 4" speaker with custom adapter I designed, it sucks to upgrade dash speaker. Because porsche/nokia uses custom designed bracket and no speaker will hold it. So I had to come up with new bracket and I send it out to laser cut for me. you can purchase this bracket here in renntech special offer section.

996/986 custom speaker adapter/bracket.
