Speaker options revisited

Could somebody tell me what size/brand speakers fit into the 996 with minimal or no modifications? I've looked at Diamond Audio, Focal, and MB Quart, but want to hear from somebody who's got them installed in their 996 and get the rundown on sizes before I buy and install. FYI- I've got a cab and will build a sub enclosure in place of the right rear seat...

Thanks all.

I took my car to paris audio and had the front and rear speakers replaced with eclipse 4" components and 6.5" in the door. They also added a eclipse amp. I didn't do a sub because I don't listen to music like I used to, but this system sounds great the way I have it. It doesn't hit like if you have a sub enclosure. I figured I could always add that if I still felt I needed more bass. For a cab, paris audio will either put subs under the rear seats or in the passenger footwell.

My Bose High End Sound Package (680) came with the sub installed in the passinger footwell. No obstruction is even noticable. Seems like it's a good location for some added bass.

i have all mb quarts which sound great. but were custom installed under the the stock speaker grills. then i ordered from http://www.caraudioinnovations.com a custom subwoofer enclosure for the rear deck. it has 2 8" woofers and i drive the whole system with a 1000 watt amp. i think he has a new enclosure for the rear deck now with 10"...
