Well I got the dash pad off and the orginal speaker is shot. Has anyone had this speaker re-coned or know of a aftermarket replacement that will fit without cutting the dash?? Thanks!

I just spent some time under the hood and noticed that the original spkr mounted up from underneath below a grill. Looks like a
5 x 7 or a maybe a 6 x 9 may fit but I left it open for now. I used some RShack surface mounts on the floor directly in front of the front seats hooked up to a Blaupunkt which is suspended in a housing (metra 99.9000) under the original radio opening.I'm looking for a 912 "radio blanking plate" to cover it. |

Hello
Depending on the year Porsche used a overstreched oval unit. Those units are also used in some other german cars ( Mercedes, Glas ) and rare/pricey. It is easier to make a intermediate plate and use a standard specker ( and sounds better ). Some domestics did also have those strange sizes but in germany it is to hard to find out. Grüsse |

That's what I've found so far in my research. I'm thinking of making an adapter plate to fit a 4"x6" speaker into the stock 4"x9" hole. I also have a small 12V 30watt amp that will take the speaker output from the radio and boost it somewhat. Rock out!!

Hello
some old german radios ( Mostly the factory Blaupunkt or becker ) do have a preamp outlet. A good way for a stereo upgrad is the Moch underdashcover. ( Needs a bit work to fit ). I used mostly ADS 320 i´s in front. The mids in the moch the hights on the door with a special bend spacer clamped under the top cover. And for filling a 9x13 cm oval in the middle. Gives good staging. If you need low end bass then you have to add a bacoks tube. you can use the trunk and make the ventholes for the heating for the sub functional. Grüsse |
