Sound System Upgrade

[KevinH1990]

I started by adding rear speakers and upgrading the dash speakers. I later added a 6-channel amp. I have not yet upgraded the door speakers.

Because your choice of speakers is dependent on your personal tastes and the type of music you want to hear, I recommend that you audition several to see what works for you. Then you can work from there to identify a head unit and if necessary an amplifier that is suited to the speakers.

When I have a few extra dollars, I'll probably add a double din navigation unit as coolbreeze suggests. I'm still recovering from the cost of upgrading my top and my 996 gauge install.

Good luck.

Quality Pioneer single din with customizable color wheel(to closely match oem yellorange lighting), Hertz 3 way speakers, subwoofer (8") custom build for fit in passenger foot well and pointing towards front of car(takes up approx.6-7"). Sub box built with marine grade plastic(starboard) and covered with matching interior carpet type/color. I had rear speakers deleted but reconsidering upgrading them for more surround. This custom install was not cheap and is not always utilized due to the boxster's glorious rev-tunes, but a great addition when desired.

I feel you on that! My wallet took a hit after each of those upgrades... My "enthusiasm" tells me it will continue :dance:.

Buy an exhaust and you will never turn on the tunes because of that sweet symphony coming from your car!

I opted for all the goodies that just don't get used much! ebay is good for sourcing a double Din, got a 4 channel amp, backup camera, and upgraded speakers through Amazon. The stock unit sold to recover some out of pocket expense.

You can visit my garage for ideas.

I have a double din Pioneer that I'm going to upgrade and the first thing I'm gonna get is this:

Speaker Bose Upgrade Porsche 986 - 98664556601 | Design 911

Once i get it I'm gonna upgrade everything to make sure it all works together.

I recently replaced my oem radio with a nice, clean looking single DIN Alpine head unit. Now I have iPod/bluetooth/hands- free calling capabilities. Enough for me.
