I know, got the nomex/kevlar shields on my keyboard for some of the replies I expect to get.

Here it is, the stock sound system sucks. Although I plan on mostly track use there will also be plenty of times when I will be driving for hours at a time. Any advice on aftermarket improvements would be helpful. Ipod stuff, CD changer, speakers, etc.

 

i agree with you... even with my sound package in my GT3 it still sound like ****... but i can live with it... still thinking of doing a Ipod hook up some how...

Sound systems are popular upgrades because they're very inexpensive (for the equipment) and relatively easy installs if you know what you're doing.


Do you just want to replace the head unit or the speakers as well?

I recommend a new head unit (complete w/ audio-in jack [ie "ipod jack"] & all the other goodies) & new speakers as well.



Certain speakers are good for bass and certain ones are good for sound quality. What you should do is get pairs of both so that way you will have nice bass and nice sound quality. Likewise, if you just care about sound quality or just bass, pick up all bass speakers.





Anyways, if you walk into a Best Buy, the most expensive head units will cost $400. You don't need to buy these ones necessarily.


Anyways, I'll stop here, but if you are interested, I'll help you find some specific products





**** Still remembers when his dealer told him that an audio-in jack would cost $750 and tried to justify it by saying, 'well, it's an expensive car', as if that has some relevance****

 

Would it be feasible to add amps / speakers without changing the head unit, to keep the factory look?

 

That's my question also.


Got tons of room in the back for a massive sub woofer

 

im sure you could put some tv screens and other junk in there too....

 

^^^ok, lets not get hasty...haha...

 

you don't have to switch the deck to switch speakers and AMPs... as long as you get a 5 channel AMP then it will run the Speakers from it... so that way you can keep your stock head unit...

Yes. message too short

 

or unplug the exhaust valve switch...

 

Glad you've got that nomex/kevlar handy....sounds to me like someone bought the wrong car.

 

My car has a sound system??? Haven't even turned it on...

 

Arling, if I see you tomorrow I might have you do that for me...too chicken to do it myself...

 

Only smart thing said in this whole thread.

 

I would like to help you with your stereo upgrade issues. I will supply, at my expense, a 1976 Plymouth Volare, with the Ricardo Montalban moon roof option. This vehicle comes from the factory with a deluxe quadraphonic 8 track system that will give you what you are looking for in high end stereo. You will then give the Porsche to me to drive. Call me crazy...
