Default Rear Speakers 2017 Boxster

Hi all, new Boxster owner here ( previous Panamera owner-some folks here will know me and my back story. Anyway, quick question: Do any of you have an issue with the rear speakers being muffled by your seat? When I test drove this car, I loved it but noticed the speakers were not that great. Since this wasn't a deal breaker, I purchased this vehicle ( and am loving it). It wasn't until the other day when I was adjusting the seats that I figured out this whole time my seat was blocking the speaker. This was great news as I found a solution to better sound. The problem now is at my preferred seat setting, ( I'm 6'3" and I like the seat far back) I'm blocking the speaker behind me, making the sound awful. Is there any was to rerorute the speakers? Maybe heave them go on each side of the seat?

Anything is possible if your Dad has an awesome set of tools!
Personally, I just crank the volume up!

Thanks Spicoli. Yes, that's what I was doing originally. But it's not clear, just loud....

speakers are fine. When my seat is up and forward they friggin rock! It’s just that when I’m laid back, they get blocked by my seat. I’m surprised they were made this way. I’ll figure something out……
