Here is is the stereo upgrade I did in my 1998 900SET.....

I found the stock 'Audio 3' system in my 1998 900SET to have very poor frequency response. The mid-bass was muddy, the mid-range was lacking, and the high frequencies were buzzy. I upgraded the sound system by installing aftermarket speakers. The NG900 SET stereo system (Audio 3) has the dash and rear speakers driven by the radio amplifier (20W Max. X 4) and the front door speakers driven by a separate mid-bass amplifier handling only the frequencies below 200 HZ (40W Max. X 2). My sound system is stock except that the factory speakers have been replaced with Infinity Kappa speakers (Infinity Kappa 32.1cf 3.5” 2-way speakers in the dash, Infinity Kappa 693.1i 6” by 9” 3-way speakers in the rear parcel shelf, and Infinity Kappa 65.1mb 6.5” mid-bass speakers in the front doors). The stock speakers were of cheap construction and were not a coaxial or full-range design. The Infinity Kappa speakers give much fuller response in the mid-bass and mid-range frequencies and clear definition in the high frequencies. I mainly listen to jazz and blues.
