great video, I was thinking about to upgrade my door speakers, but wait a second, I have to buy the car first. just joking, after watching what have you done, now I am going to order parts and do the same thing, thanks for your video.

[@yoyotube8888]

Is that a plug and play, can I leave the original pcm (non bose) and simply change the speakers. How much better did it feel once in operation? Thanks.

G'Day and thanks for posting. I'm about to do exactly the same to a 997.1
My question is when you removed the old speaker, it was mounted on the inside of it's mount.
When you screwed the replacement speaker on, it was screwed to the top of the existing mount (not inside like the original) so you are adding approximately 5mm - 10mm of height onto that mount that wasn't there before even if you remove the foam buffer (still have the radius steel right angled lip of the speaker).
Therefore I would have thought this would have created fitting challenges when replacing the door side panel because the new speaker and mount were thicker than the original setup?
Did you have this problem?

[@simas61184]

I had no problem door panel went back the same way

thank you for this video, i think mine are blown due to crackly sound so i was looking to replace with same. i will look in to the bigger ones you have shown. cheers

[@AmritP]

did it, thanks again for the tips! i ended up using Focal ISU200 woofers and ICU100

[@hazemgiballi]

@@AmritPnon Bose system right? Was the swap pretty straight forward?

[@mauritsklein]

Did you use an external amplifier?

[@simas61184]

No amps the Kenwood that came with the car is strong enough

I installed 6.5 inch, now I will look into 8s.

[@simas61184]

You can upgrade the brand …what I have is just a cheaper solution Just make sure the Depth of the speaker will fit

[@aboyandhisdog]

How did you get the 6.5" to fit in the big 7.75" holder? Is there an adaptor available somewhere? I'm having a hell of a time replacing the woofers in the doors of my 997. It seems all I can find aftermarket is the 6.5".

[@hwoodist]

@@aboyandhisdog I made an adapter out of plywood.

[@aboyandhisdog]

@@hwoodist I have some corrugated poly and might try that. Leave it to Porsche to build with a speaker that nobody can replace!
