    I'm in Houston. Might go on the PCA jaunt to Camp For All next Saturday. In the world of architectural acoustics, those engineers tell us that even small gaps will allow far more sound to enter than one might expect. Things like unfilled cracks around electrical boxes. I would think the same principle would apply to sound dampening a Porsche. I have just received the Dynamat Extreme which I will use on the door panels when I install my speaker upgrade.

    I'm iin my second month of ownership of an '02 996 coupe. It came with pretty new Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's on the rear, and not so new Conti Sport Contact2's on the front. Web forum chatter leads me to believe the road noise would decrease somewhat if I replaced the Conte's w/ Potenza like on the rear. BUT, I will need more than that. Many of the interesting backroads in Texas have been overlaid with a blacktop layer that uses real large aggregate. This produces a LOT of road noise, much more than the highways and interstates here. Has anyone done an all-over installation of Dynamat on the floor, tunnel, etc.? What were the results? The engine noise is just fine; like great music!

    Have read lots of posts about upgrading the speakers in a 996 coupe. Just received a pair of MB Quart PVI-210 speakers for the dash. Most folks recommend using the MBQ crossover that comes with these speakers, even though they are large and require some creativity to hide. My question, possibly dumb, but genuine... Porsche wiring brings two wires to the old speaker assembly. MBQ crossover has four input wires: Tweeter pos & neg; Woofer pos & neg. I assume I will need to cut off the old Porsche connector, and to each factory lead splice two wires so that each of the four input connectors can be fed from the factory amp. Yes, I'm going to keep the factory amp in phase 1 of this upgrade. Pls advise before I fry something :-)

    For my 2002 996 coupe, I would like to get some richer sound from the Becker CDR 220, with all the upgrades being non-intrusive...i.e. keep factory speaker grilles, no subwoofer box, etc. Have gotten mixed advice about 1. Need to replace factory amplifier under the bonnet; 2. Need to replace door speakers but not those in the dash and rear panels. I am pretty fair at making stuff work, electrically and mechanically, so I'm not limited to direct plug-in's, etc. Bob Brooks
