I was hoping that someone might be able to help me. I have the stock stereo system (non bose) on a 2006 carrera s and wanted to know how much power does the radio put out. Someone told me that the individual speakers have amps on them (doesnt make any sense to me). I wanted to integrate the Kenwood KOS V500 so I can connect my IPOD. BTW for such an expensive car the stock stereo system pretty much stinks, although I know you dont buy this car for the radio.

 

I am not sure about the non-bose system; but in my car the amp is in the trunk under the cd changer .. nobody puts amps on speakers.

If you want to integrate ipod, check out the dension unit .. you get full ipod functionality on the PCM. A couple of people have this unit and it works great (including myself).

thank you mishref, I will check them out.

 

Here is the following from the 997 product information guide:

"Also standard in the new 911 Carrera is Porsche Sound Package Plus. With its
9 loudspeakers and external analogue amplifier, it offers a superior sound
experience and plentiful sound reserves for all driving conditions.
This is further reinforced by considerably larger loudspeaker grilles.

Loudspeakers
• Dashboard:
2x 0.75 in high-frequency
loudspeakers
1x 2.76 in mid-frequency
loudspeaker
• Door:
2x 3.94 in mid-frequency
loudspeakers
2x 7.87 in low-frequency
speakers
• Rear:
2x 3.94 in mid-range
loudspeakers

The loudspeakers are powered by a 4 x 25 watts amplifier integrated in PCM
as well as an external analogue amplifier accommodated in the luggage compartment.
The external amplifier supplies the power for the low-frequency loudspeakers (2 x 70 watts)
and the midfrequency loudspeakers in the dashboard (40 watts).
Filter stages in the analogue amplifiers match the audio
characteristics to the special interior acoustics of the 911 Carrera."

BTW, have you considered going the denison route? I have heard good things from several people here on the boards and also local customers that it intergrates pretty well. since the PCM is integrated into the MOST bus network it would be pretty involved to replace.

 

you should buy with Bose!!!
