It could be any number of things. FWIW mine turned out to be the canister. My indy also initially thought it was the filler neck vent but once he had the car in the shop found out that wasn't it. You...

I suggest you find out if there are any trouble codes. I use a Durametric that’s great for these cars.

I don’t know if the 40w the Porsche amp is supposed to be pushing is RMS or peak. By the lack of volume I’d bet it’s peak.

Thanks for your response. The signal from the head unit is from the pre-amplified outputs, so I don’t think I’d hear anything if the amp wasn’t working at all. Not sure about the “powerful stereo”...

Do I need a bigger amp?

I replaced my CDR220 with a new double DIN head unit. Now, with the top down (of course) it seems like I've always got the volume close to the top end; for quieter music there's not enough with the...
