I think "Instrument Dials Interior Color" (e.g. Savannah Beige) was a rare option. I'm not a fan of instrument dials matching the interior, and they were cheap "sticker" faces that bubbled over time, but I'm pretty sure they were rare.

I'm not familiar with Joel speakers. Are you going by the logo on the back? The housings actually reminded me of MB Quart back when they were still made in Germany.

Joel speakers? I own a speaker company? Then why am I still working?

Standard 5.25" woofer on the left.

A 400 watt amp that replaces the standard M490 amp. It's mostly PnP in the same location in the frunk.

And front speakers.

I never got around to installling mine because the door cards have to be modified and I want to keep mine stock. The plan was to pick up a set of used door cards to cut into and leave the originals unmolested.

That package was made for Porsche by Jehnert & is still available directly from them or resellers. They also still supply spare parts for it too, including the Porsche logos for those door grills.

I managed to pick up a really cheap set on ebay & have the rears fitted in my car, but haven't gotten around to fitting the front door pods yet.

I traded a set of wheels for my kit but back then Rose Passion was selling them for ~ $1,200 if I remember correctly. That might seem high but look what people are paying for the PCCM.
