Stereo in a sports car, such as the Boxster, really is a waste IMO. The music from the motor, intake and exhaust is all I need (as others have mentioned).

I removed the stereo from my 911 just because of that. The only time the one in the Box is used is when my 18 year old drives with me...even then I prefer he listen to his iPod if he needs music that bad.

My friend's S has the Bose system...to me, it sounds muddy and booming; better left off. I have the full aray of speakers in my S, including Harvey's rear kit; think I've used it three times in three years.
