Bose rear speakers

[colinmclelland]

I have a 98 boxter and want to update the speakers (currently only 2 on dash). I have been offered a boxed new bose speakers system that fits in the box behind the head rests.

Can any one recomend this, is it worth buying, does the sound quality sound good and is it easy to install.

Thanks

Hell yeah,

but remember the are only around £250 from the dealer, so dont pay over this, or close to this for second hand

my rear bose speakers only seems to be a subwoofer, playing with the fade I hear nothing but bass from it, wonder if that's the case or if mine's broken

[RascalRuss]

The bose rear speaker should have one subwoofer (centre) and two mid-range speakers in the side, so yes maybe yours does have a problems

I put a set of non-Bose rear speakers in my 2000 and my friend's 2003. They make a fairly big difference in the sound quality especially with the top down. The sound seems more "spacious."

The kit I bought was from PNP products and cost $210 U.S.

The installation is fairly easy. The first set required about 6 hours. The second set required less than 3 hours. The only difficult part of the job is running the speaker wiring through the channel beneath the door sill.

Good luck with your project.

Are you planning to get speakers in the doors as well? THat would require new door panels right?

It's amazing that Porsche put out crappy stereo. Even the HIFI was a joke. I recall learning about the 2 spkr std stereo at dealer and was very put off by it back in 2000. I bot a different car then that cost me 1/3 the price and much faster.
