Hi All
with a pending installation of a NM Automotive unit, I am also keen to upgrade the speakers on my 997.2.
Rennspec used to do adapters and ready-made wiring kits, but they seem to have disappeared unfortunately.
Has anybody any experience of doing same, tips, recommendations of decent compatible speakers, guides etc?
Many thanks
Paul

FYI I have a focal center and the custom Del Rey speaker spacers for each door he mention in post 29 in that thread above. Never installed. PM if you want them.

I did Focal speaker replacement on mine... lotsa work... dremeling etc required even for your two L/R dash speakers. If you are keeping the center speaker, you may have an issue. I kept it as the 997.2 amplifier uses this center channel as a full range speaker. I could not find a larger Focal alternative so I kept the Bose speaker. You may have a problem in that this speaker is more efficient than aftermarket units and therefore will play louder and the balance will be all off. Some just disconnect it. I kept it and installed a volume control (potentiometer) to attenuate its volume. Read here for how to wire this thing.

No Bose is good!
Make sure you soundproof the doors while you're in there
