speaker sizes, why so much conflicting info
Hey guys I have some speaker rattle happening and I was going to just replace the component speakers but I can not nail down the actual size of the speakers. Every time I find what seems to be the answer another post, article etc say something else.
I have the 2008 base model with the 2.7ltr 6-speed. I don't see the "bose" logo on the door so I'm assuming I don't have that set up.
The RR should be a 4" (not in the base model but can put them in if desired)
The LWR doors 6.5" or 8.0" I can't get a solid answer.
The UPR door, can not find anything saying the size. Not even crutchfield.
The center dash looks like a 2.75"
The side dash tweeters appear to be .75"
Any input from the gurus?
Thank you everyone.

I replaced my Bose system in my ‘12 CS and the following are the speaker dimensions I encountered:
Dashboard - 2 X 25mm neodym tweeters Center - 1 X 70mm mid range loudspeaker
Door - 2 X 80mm loudspeakers, 2 X200mm Nd low range loudspeakers
Rear Sides - 2 X 80mm mid-range loudspeakers
Subwoofer in footwell, one 102 X 153mm low range loudspeaker
The 80mm were easy to replace, but 200mm I recall is not a common size. So I used 6.5 inch speakers with adapters I found on Amazon here: Exact Fit Speaker Adapter Spacer Rings For Porsche Vehicles - SAK066_55-1 Pair
They worked great and I was shocked to find some random manufacturer made these parts for our cars. Hope this helps!

As a general speaker question then, I have a non-Bose system which sounds decidedly flat after my wife's Bose-equipped Mazda.
Would replacing the standard speakers achieve anything, or does an amp upgrade also appear on the agenda?
Not sure I've got the desire to do much more work...
