Hello all, here are my steps to upgrade the dash speakers on my Boxster 986 (also works on 996 models).

Steps:

1 - Buy new 4inch speakers (I bought the Kenwood KFC-S106 speakers)

4 - remove the old speakers, it is hard to remove the screw closer to the windshield in my case I did with the help of a pair of pliers.

5 - Attach the new speakers to the speaker cover using the old bolts on the 3 fixing points.

6 - Wire the new speakers to the cables (you need to cut the old connector and connect directly to the speakers terminal (+ and -), be sure you are connecting to the correct pole.

7 - Assemble it back to the dash.

8 - Enjoy
