Is it just possible to switch out these for other speakers without changing all the cables?

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A simple way to improve the sound I have been told is to just swap speakers in a car. Are the 996 ones Nokia? Is it just possible to switch out these for other speakers without changing all the cables?

POST 2Original post

Yes it is but I swapped all mine for the bose ones

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Where did you source the speakers from? Is it an ebay search?

POST 4Original post

I swapped mine for Bose too. Yes it was an e bay search. Easy job to do. But definitely an improvement. Another option is a car breakers. But I found speakers on e bay.

POST 5Original post

When I had my 996T I replaced them all with Pioneer speakers. The door speakers were an easy swap, and for the dash and rears I bought the dummy Porsche speaker grilles and screwed them to the back. You can get the connector plugs from VW. I'll dig out some photos. Also check out JMG Porsche. They do adaptors for Alpine speakers to fit the dash and rears.

POST 7Original post

I cut holes in the back, and screwed them on from the underside. This also shows the VW connectors: VW Speaker Connectors: 1HO-906-712 Wire: 000-979-129 (this is the yellow wire, and comes with a terminal on each end).

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
