2002 Boxster S. After 14 years of ownership, I finally replaced the original CDR220 with a great set up: 7" Alpine ILX-507a head unit + Alpine KTA-450 Power Pack. This produces 50 watts rms into 4 channels. Focal speakers replaced the front, side and rear, and a Pioneer TSWX140DA self-powered sub fitted behind the passenger seat. To the right of the HU is the Alpine RUE-BK01A rotary volume knob, which I added as this is more convenient and safer to use than pushing a volume button.

Not only is the sound terrific, but the HU enables the connection of a 1 Tb SSD, which holds FLAC files, streaming TIDAL, and plays Car Play wirelessly.

Regards from Perth
