I recall that a few guys swapped their speakers for Focals and they were "almost" a direct swap, with some very minor "adjusting" of the existing speaker housing needed.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

I did a quick search without results. Does anyone know if the 997 cab OEM Bose speakers fit a 2000 996 cab? If the hardware can be swapped, do I need to do any special modification or re-wiring? I am looking for a direct swap, but if it does not work, I will not try to take things apart and make them fit.
Thanks in advance...
Botsy, go with aftermarket speakers -- world of difference in quality. If you're concerned about the fit (for the dash speakers you would need to cut the existing speaker housing and use it with the new speakers) then contact Rod @
www.caraudioinnovations.com
. He can do all the work for you and send you the speakers already in the housing so you just have to swap them out. He does this on a core-exchange basis -- you send him your old speakers and housings and he send you back the housing with the new spakers inside (depending on the color of your car's interior he might have the housing in-house already so he can send those out and you send your old ones back once you remove them to minimize downtime.)
Anyway, I have no affiliation with Rod but just like a lot of other Rennlisters I am a very satisfied customer. Give him a call and tell him what you're trying to do. I got Focal speakers for my dash and doors and a pair of his 8" subwoofers in a custom fiberglass enclosure. Great stuff and Rod is a great guy to deal with.
Bao - do a search on Focals. I recall that a few guys swapped their speakers for Focals and they were "almost" a direct swap, with some very minor "adjusting" of the existing speaker housing needed.
Thanks Programmatore and Tim, greatly appreciate your inputs... The reason I asked for this is because I may get a full set of Bose speakers from an 05 997 C2S from my Bro-in-law who wants to upgrade his stereo system. Personally I do not really care about the music in this car since I only drive it on weekends and therefore don't spend much time in it. I prefer my TechArt exhaust sounds when enjoying the car
But looks like maybe the dash speakers may throw a fit, but the ones in the doors, and rears may be OK? Thanks again guys...
Thanks for the warning, it would be indeed devastating to tear apart the door panels and dashboard to find out the Bose speakers don't even work, Oops
That is why I asked here to see if anyone has done this, but obviously no-one bother to do this swap, just go with aftermarket speakers directly. I may follow that advice if one day I want better audio in this car.
Thanks,
