Also, upgraded component speakers are available from Saab, I believe they are Blaupunkt and replace the entire speaker/ventilation panel. By far the best 4"x10" speakers for your rear cutouts are Pioneer TS-A4105 3-way speakers. These fit your factory places without modification and sound much better than any alternative 4x10s on the market. An external amplifier is probably a good idea, as the power will be much better distributed to the four speakers and a great deal of noise will be eliminated from the system. I would recommend a small Blaupunkt Velocity 40Wx4, as it will fit behind the second DIN cutout in the center console. Viel Gluck! Jason Porter jporternopsam.net
