Audio upgrade
losone replied to Niclas P's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
most people here uses either Focal or MB Quart We have done countless 996 upgrades with Focals and they are nice. If you really want to step it up, Morel's are pretty hard to beat. I have the Elate 6-3W 3 way setup in our shop's 996 which consists of a 6.5" woofer custom fit behind the factory grill in the door, a 3.5" mid & 1 1/8" tweeter custom mounted under the factory dash grills, all powered by a Genesis Profile 2 Ultra amp. This setup is our upper end system that we recommend for the front stage of 996's. It is rounded out with dual 8" subs in a custom built box behind the back seats powered by a Genesis Profile sub amp. We also have done some great sounding systems with a Dotech or Hybrid Ovation 6.5" 2 way system for those who don't want to break the bank but still want to have great sound quality. As far as Mark's original question regarding speaker fitment, 996's with hifi sound normally have either a 4" or 5 1/4" subwoofer mounted in a plastic enclosure within the front doors, a 4" mid & a 1" tweeter in the dash as well as the rear side panels. Around '02 they also started adding a ported bose subwoofer box in the rear of coupes which has 2 5-1/4" subwoofers as well. As I said earlier we like to run a 3 way component setup up front, a 4" coax or comp in the rear side panels, & either replace the bose subs in back with Focal 5 1/4" K2 subs or build a new enclosure behing the back seats with either 6.5" or 8" subs for those who really want improve bass response! -
The rear speakers on that particular bose system are tied together for some reason. We always end up having to run new speaker wire to the rear side speakers.
