It might be worth ringing around the specialist breakers to see if they have any. Try these:

Rather than start a new topic I thought i'd post here as it seems relevant.
Has anyone got suggestions of good replacement speakers that have been fitted in the doors without 'hacking' the trim about too much. I have a particular fancy to Alpine or Infinity speakers. Also, what can be done with the rear speakers, are they easy to get to and anything to look out for when removing them.
I have always been keen to fit my own systems.
The car is an '89 Turbo.
Cheers.

The front's are pretty easy to change, I have some nice Pioneers that will go straight in to any oval dashed 944 if you are interested? (not sure about the older interiors)
£30.00 inclusive of delivery.
I'm about to fit some JBL's which have required a small amount of hacking.
The rears come in two styles, one has a 6X4 aperture (My 86 has this) with plenty of space behind it because of the rear wing bulge later on they changed to a 5" circular speaker I think but not sure about this, whatever you want to do there is plenty of room for improvement as the OE speakers fitted are not very good by todays standards.
Have a look here for some good idea's

It all depends on how good you want your sound quality? I picked up a set of Infinity speakers that sound miles better than the original fit ones that were in the car. They are not however, any good for your average Sarfend (Southend-On-Sea in normal person speak!!) Boombox cruiser! They just take it to what I would consider a decent sound quality, with out needing to bugger up the door.
(85/1/2 oval dash) As far as fitment is concerned they fitted straight in to the original apertures and only sat proud by about 5mm. To be honest I spaced the grills with some washers, but with the give in the pinstripe door coverings you can barely see the gap.
If you want the part number of these speakers let me know and I will drop them out again and let you know.

Hi all!
First time on the forum as a new club member and recent purchaser of an 89 944 2.7 in velvet red.
Got a few minor projects on with the car at the moment one of which is upgrading the rather tired, original factory, door speakers. Has anyone found any decent 2 way speakers which will sit behind the standard grills?

Hi Jeremy, and welcome.
I was just looking for a set for mine today.
They're standard 6 x 4 speakers, so there is some choice (even if there's not loads).
The cheapest I've found is here. They've got a selection from £20 up. The sites not the best to navigate as you have to go into each manufacturer, and then scroll through the list (usually in the "custom") section. To browse a few sets at once, go here
Annoyingly, speakers are much cheaper in the US (see here - of course they don't post to the UK!!)[
