Rear Speaker Kit Parts for 986

Does anyone know where I can purchase a rear speaker kit for a 2004 986 Boxster? (it has the rear storage compartment already). The following parts were shown as no longer available on Pelican: 986-551-434-00-01C-OEM Speaker Cover, Right, Black ; 986-612-085-00-OEM Speaker Wiring Harness. Glen from Pelican replied that as far as he knew Porsche has discontinued making the rear speaker covers - he did not mention the harness. He suggested I post on the Forum to see if anyone has any suggestions for obtaining the parts individually or the entire kit.
Thanks.

IMHO. Upgrade the front door and dash speakers instead. I sold car audio for years. Thirteen to be exact. It would be more beneficial. Make the door speakers a woofer type of speaker and put high quality two ways in the dash. New head unit and amp. Get rid of the Bose. A good car audio installing company should be able to hook you up. Good meaning. Not short Circuit City or Audio Sparks. (audio express)

Occationally you can get a knock off kit on eBay. I installed the kit on my 99 and I have to say that it makes the stock stereo sound reasonable. It will never be great but I didn't buy the car to listen to music.

Anybody, have these installed or know anything about them?
door woofer,
Component Subwoofers at Crutchfield.com
fronts,
Focal Access 100CA1 2-way 4" car speakers at Crutchfield.com

or is there something better for cheaper?
I would like to upgrade to something nice, 480$ woofer?

If you search "boxster rear speaker kit" on ebay, you will find a kit by Harvey, PNP products. I have put two of these kits in my cars over the years and am happy with the results.

I have the Harvey kit too. Most people seem to think it is better than the OEM kit.
