  1. That's definitely my goal here....thanks for the input.
  2. I'm looking for the part number for the BOSE rear deck subwoofer, or all part numbers if there are different ones for the 986 with and without the glass rear window and/or if there is one for the 987. I'm also looking for the part number(s) (same as above) for the rear deck storage unit, as well as suggestions for where to purchase both the sub and the storage unit. I'm looking for all model years/styles. Please see this post for details - http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=9193. Sorry to be so broad, and thanks in advance! Kevin
  3. Hi folks, I own RoadsterSound.com, and my particular area of expertise is getting big sound out of small, stealthy little packages. I make two subwoofer enclosures for the BMW Z3 and am finishing up development on another for the Mini Cooper. I'm about to get started on one for the Boxster and would like to get input from current owners. I've seen a few options for stereo upgrades for the Boxster - the Becker/PNA kit, the Harvey Peck kit, the Techart rear deck kit, and the Bose rear deck kit. I've also heard of another kit, OEM I believe, that converts the door speakers to "subwoofers" (can anyone give me details on this kit?). None of these kits strikes me as ideal - none offer good low frequency performance and all seem expensive for what you get. What I've got in mind is kind of a combination of the Bose/Techart and Becker/Peck kits above - a rear deck enclosure with a subwoofer (likely either an 8" ported or 10" sealed), amp, and rear speakers. The whole setup will be designed to look OEM, and will be as plug-n-play as possible. Any thoughts, preferences, or suggestions? I'm in the early stages here, so almost anything can be accomodated if warranted. Another option is a molded enclosure that fits in the footwell. The advantage there is that low frequency performance can be better, the obvious drawbacks are that it doesn't look OEM and you lose some passenger legroom (probably about 6", depending on how it all works out). I'd love to hear input from anyone willing to give it - my goal is build what you all want. The more I can involve owners in the process the better. I'm open to any suggestions you all may have. I also need a few testers, preferably (but not essentially) near New York City - one 987 owner, and two 986 owners (one with glass rear window, one without). In exchange for their time, pictures, help, and feedback these three folks get free enclosures. If you're interested, email me at kevin@roadstersound[dot]com.
