No, i think you can't upgrade to Burmester aftermarket, but an hi fi specialist told me you can upgrade the system making it become something very good...we'll see..!

He told me you can firstly replace paper speakers and some twitters, then, maybe add or upgrade amplifier. You can also isolate better doors and panels just to avoid bad vibrations.
Anyway, he told me you can make standard stereo sound VERY VERY well and really and noticeable better. Obviously, by spending about 1.5000,00 Euro.
Anyway...it's a solution.

Hi guys,
some days ago, in another thread, i sayed i was satisfied with base stereo player in my Porsche (2001 model).
I have to admit that in my new C2S 991 the Base Music Player is really a BASE system...
Some one of u could tell me if it is possible to install BOSE Surround Sound-System or maybe Burmester Audio after market?
just to upgrade that audio who sounds like Hinno-Hit '80 car stereo.
Thank u all!

Where in Italy is he based? Maybe I could bring my 991 from Switzerland to him?
He is in Parma (my city).
He works to customize cars for Hi Fi Competitions, so i think he's very good.
Anyway, they have a website at www.acousticsinergy.it it's in Italian, but in case of need i can send him (or i can give you their contacts).
Just let me know.

I have the BOSE system and everyday hate it more and more. It's paltry, plastic cuppy, midrange galore. Neither highs nor lows. God forbid you put it in surround mode. It separates the sound and really thins it out. You lose any punch that might have been there. It's unfortunate that the $2400 BOSE system can't touch the BMW HK premium sound that is $1450 in the flagship X5/M3.
I am right there with you!
I have only had it a week and already it I feel it is, at best, adequate. Indeed, I get a lot of reverberation from the drivers side door or the speaker in the left side dash (where the phone speaker is) under any elevated base. Do you get the same? I am only glad that, by ordering it, I have speakers and electronics already well placed for replacements with aftermarket once those start coming out - no need to cut my beautiful leather interior - or yours!

Porsche nickle and dime us with all the options/extras and the stereo is just another example. The base system, for example, does not come with Sirius or HD. However, both can be added to the base unit for about $1,500. Since those two features (Sirius+HD) can be added to a base unit, then I would conclude that they are independent from either the Bose or Burmester brands. The Bose 'package' is $2,400 above the base, but with that 'package' you get both Sirius and HD, so that means that the actual Bose system alone is a $900 option at most. You may wonder what that extra $900 may actually buy you, but I am sure that Porsche gets a cut out of that too.

Forget BOSE, forget Burmester. The best sound system Porsche offers is the PSE 
.
Anyone know the weight differences with the sound systems including the increased insulation? Or is this negligible?

My other car is an Audi A4 with a very decent Bang&Olufsen stereo system. I always thought it was the best sounding stereo I had ever heard in a car.
After driving my 991 with Burmester for a few weeks, then going back into the Audi I cannot believe how tinny and mono the B&O stereo sounds. The Burmester is worse than crack and there is no going back. It has ruined all other stereos for me.

[QUOTE=AG991;3508720]Eric,

I got the same as u!
The main problem is THE DRIVER'S door. Reverberations and vibrations. At not high levels of sound or bass! Frustrating.
My old BMW with base stereo was years above.
Unbelivable. I'm bringin' today my car to the dealer because of that. We'll see what they can do with that problem. then, i'll let u know.
Finger crossed.
