However the speakers that Porsche used are not the greatest for sound reproduction.

I'm using a stock CDR-220 without the amp and it sounds 'ok' for now.

The amp and the head unit actually produce fairly clean sound.

I'm starting off with replacing the stock speakers with some Infinity's.

Suggestion
I put a pair of Focal Polyglass 100V2 2-ways in the dash, a pair of Focal Utopia 5wS for the doors and a pair of Focal Access 100CA for the rears -- all using the factory grills (yes, they fit nicely).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Now I know that the stereo in my 99 C2 w/HiFi is garbage, was wondering if anyone had done a "amp swap" only with either a newer Bose amp (from the 02+) or an after market amp with speaker level inputs (like the Pioneer). The OEM is 6 X 40 watts (in a tin can, junk.....sorry) wondering if it is feasible to do this without any other MAJOR wiring.....
Point is, the OEM speakers seem OK, I think they just lack sufficient power. Thoughts??

I had the hi-fi package on my 2000 C2 Cab. The speakers are crap. Putting an aftermarket amp will only amplify the crappiness of the speakers.
My recommendation is to upgrade the speakers if you're going to upgrade the amp. I went with Focal speakers and just love them. Nice highs and lows and great mid-range. I put a pair of Focal Polyglass 100V2 2-ways in the dash, a pair of Focal Utopia 5wS for the doors and a pair of Focal Access 100CA for the rears -- all using the factory grills (yes, they fit nicely).

I agree with programmatore on this. Get replacement speakers first. The entire audio system is only as good as its weakest point, in this case the speakers. The amp and the head unit actually produce fairly clean sound. However the speakers that Porsche used are not the greatest for sound reproduction.
I'm using a stock CDR-220 without the amp and it sounds 'ok' for now. I'm starting off with replacing the stock speakers with some Infinity's. Some time after that I'll upgrade to an aftermarket amp and then round the system off with a custom cabinet for a pair of 8 inch subs.

Hello, I too have a 2000 996 Cabriolet with the hi-fi sound package. I agree the speakers are crap and that is the first thing i am going to go change out. I have a contact with Alpine and I would like to go with them as i can get a really good deal with them. Now since i am going to be changing out the speakers i wondered if it was an easy 'swap' to take out that Nokia amp and put in its place something a bit more 'robust' from say Alpine. But i do not really want to cut stuff, or 'make it fit'. basically, has anyone done a direct swap of that Nokia unit with something of similar size? thanks!
