Stereo Sucks so Bad
As we all know the stereo sucks. I want to buy a total new system for my 2006 Boxster. I want something that will not change the cosmetics of the car but pump out mind shattering sound. I am willing to spend $3000-$4000.
Can someone tell me in that price range what would be the best choice of stereo, power amp and speakers? Hooking up the Ipod is also important.

I did not get any good offers. One guy did offer me several cows..... 
The idea of selling it makes me sad. So now it is "sorta" for sale. I am sure it will take a long time to sell it here.
I am back on the coast now with it. Took it out yesterday for a 135+ mile an hour cruise with my new assistant and kept saying "now why do I want to sell it?" 
I need to get a kick ass stereo though since Metallica sounds like crap on the factory stereo.
Thanks for the link.

Can't go wrong with Reus Audio. Call Rick Reus and let him know your situation, they will help transport the car to California then make sure it gets back to you as soon as they are done.
I went with their Highest system for the Boxster and it ran me about 5k.
Hope this helps.

I am sure these guys do great installs but shipping the car from South America is just not an option. It would be extremely time consuming and expensive. Thanks for the tip though.

Yes, "Nothing Else Matters" from the S & M disk is AWSOME. My former BMW had a nice sound system in it and it just rocked cruising around with that tune on especially when the bass box would vibrate the whole car.
My Boxster with the basic stereo system however sounds like a tin can.
I was cruising today along the ocean with my new assistant listening to Ozzy live doing Paranoid from the Tribute album. My foot got a little heavy and before I knew it I was doing 135 mph with one hand in the air. My assistant was yelling "Papi papi! Mas rapido!!!" The orange sun was setting into the ocean, I could smell the cane burning in the distance and was surrounded by palm trees. It made all the taxes I had to pay on that car worth while.

Metallica became terminally ill with the black album and died forever with the release of Load.

Why don't you send me one of your Spandau Ballet disks so I can try something different?
