The PO did not hack the door panels to drop in the typical 6.5" round speakers in the doors (like I did) so being thankful for that...

the stock speaker grilles are empty showing the painted body.

What do you use to keep the original look but upgrade the sound over stock speakers?

This car doesn't need a killer stereo, so do I just put stock speakers back in???

I bought a Sony bluetooth headset with active noise cancellation which you can switch off if you want to hear your engine noise in the background. Really nice if you need to be able to answer and talk on your phone w/o needing to pull over and turn your engine off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Those are illegal here and possibly other places too. I never liked the isolation that headphones gave me in the car...always preferred to have enough sound to make the windows down disappear. After being used to a really good sound system for years, getting by in a 914 that I plan on driving longer distances in just doesn't sound like what I want. I've got 500 watts ready to load into the car so I can have the top off and cruise in style with great sound blasting at 80mph...this is Utah after all.
