upgrading the car stereo for 986

[Chippy]

I think the whole setup went something like:-

Amp - GBP250 (You can actually get away with only a two channel amp, as the the crossovers have one input (per side of car) and three outs - one to the door, one to the dash midrange and one to the dash tweeter.

Headunit - GBP165 (I needed a HU with preouts)

Speakers - GBP650(ish) - That's for the door pods and speakers, dash pods which have mid and tweets, two crossovers and the template to make the cutouts in the door card. In my opinion they are far easier to fit than the DIY option if you haven't already got any door speakers.

My current HU and amp are probably sufficient. I have the door speakers already and have upgraded those to 6.5" woofers, but I like that Jehnert mod with the 2 6" woofers per side. I wanted to keep it looking stock when I did my stuff but that pod looks pretty good. They're not cheap but at least they have good MB Quart speakers already built into that price for the pods.

Jehnert also has some interesting stuff on their web site for the rear speaker box.

Is there a US source for the Jehnert products?

Not sure. I ordered and paid for mine through the UK dealer over the 'phone (I'm in Jersey in the UK), but they actually got shipped to me direct from Jehnert - maybe they'll do the same for the US?

Very interested, but couldn't find much information on their site. How much did you pay for your Jehnerts ? Will call on Monday, hopefully they speak English. I want the carbon fiber ones!

That amp looks like one of the class-D Alpine amps Alpine Amps
