I don't really BLAST music anyway, and I am not a thumper. I think you might be right. With better amplification and a sub - 4 speakers should be fine. I'll let you know what I end up doing - and post pics when I do the install. Thanks again!

Great question about whether adding more speaker drivers actually improves the sound, especially in a cabin as compact as the Cayman. I agree with the others, you may be really pleased sticking with the 2-way stereo speakers that you already have with the addition of the D3 & and sub-woofer.
The Bose system includes 3 degrees of surround modes. Frankly, I leave the surround function turned off most of the time. For certain types of music, jazz for one, the system does sound good to me with the surround effect turned on to its lowest level. So, in that since there is some benefit to having the extra speakers. Otherwise, give me a great stereo set-up with a sub and I'm good to go too.
