129's are a bit of a pain as the std speakers run in a 1ohm config...
it isn't a big deal to upgrade but you do need to change H/U and speakers and mess with wiring.. I'm part way through mine... just need to finish wiring and bits... does sound massively better with the upgraded units and the baby kenwood sub though... |

you can either go under the passenger carpet or behind one or both of the seats.... only the baby kenwood one seems to fit.

Alfie, Rob and Richard at Unique installed a top of the line double DiN Alpine in my 911 with JL Audio amp... The sound is amazing, installation neat, OEM looking and great price too....
I'd recommend them highly.... I see you're in Birmingham but it's well worth the drive... |
