slowly starting to get the new audio system installed in the cayman over the winter at a friend's shop. i'm keeping the factory headunit but replacing everything else. i am really hoping the base audio system has a toslink on the back but if not i'll just do it analog. the system will consist of the following:

alto mobile falstaff 12
helix dsp2
arc audio xdi v2 1100.5
all power and speaker wire from knu konceptz
here are a few shots showing some deconstruction. as i slowly progress i will post up more photos. some interesting things to note so far.
there is a lot of foam used in our cars, i'm guessing for sound insulation. it's thick and very soft to the touch - think seat foam but softer.
the only part of the door that is metal is the outer skin. the rest of it appears to be some form of fiberglass infused plastic.
the areas in the rear quarters where the storage pods are is HUGE! i suppose it has to be to house all the stuff needed for the convertible top of the boxster. those spots would be perfect for installing an 8" sub on each side but my plans are different for this install. to give you an idea i put a legal sized envelop in one of the areas in a photo.
everything but the speaker wires in the door are tied into the canbus system. as you will see there is a removable panel attached to the door itself once you remove the interior panel. that had to be removed to get the dynamat installed on the outer skin.
i have no idea what the little round thing is on the rear firewall. i goggled the part number but nothing came up. i'm wondering if it has something to do with the possibly sound-enhanced exhaust. fwiw i do not have the PSE.
