Although the cutout in the door could probably hold a larger speaker, a 6.5" is a drop in replacement. The door panel has a location to mount a standard 3.5" speaker or a tweeter could easily be fit into this space.

I want to select speakers that will work best with a AVIC-D3 without using any external amplifiers. I plan on running two small 3.5" or 4" speakers in the rear storage console. Just not sure what to do about the fronts. A good 6.5" coaxial would probably be the easiest solution, but components would work as well. I just don't want to end of with speakers that will require an external amp to get decent sound.

Any suggestions on brands?

I was told that the base sound system speakers were:

• Dashboard:
2x 19-mm/ 0.7 in. tweeters
1x 70-mm/ 2.8 in. mid-range loud-speaker
• Door:
2x 100-mm/ 3.9 in. mid-range loud-speakers
2x 200-mm/ 7.9 in. low-range loud-speakers
• Rear side:
2x 100-mm/ 3.9 in. mid-range loud-speakers

Is this the same on the Boxster as the Cayman, or different? Or are my numbers wrong?
