We exchanged a few emails and decided that he would drive down to Portland, OR from Seattle, WA to have us personally install the whole kit.



For those that aren't familiar with our outfit, we have three stages of performance audio upgrades that are specifically tailored to the pre-facelift 991/981 chassis cars with the Sound Package Plus factory system(almost every GT car). For more info on the stages, check out this thread on the whole kit structure and this one the Stage I tweeter upgrade. For this project, we needed to have enough power to overcome the engine and road noise and the right speakers to give us the clarity and dynamics at those volume levels – Stage III was the logical choice. Here are the components for that setup:
.

• Musicar 28mm High-End Tweeters (Dynaudio of Denmark)
• Musicar 100mm High-End Midrange (Dynaudio of Denmark)
• Musicar 230mm High-Output Woofers (Morel of Israel)
• Musicar Performance DSP Amplifier (Mosconi of Italy)
• Musicar Plug and Play Input/Output Harnessing (Musicar Northwest)

Our goal is to utilize some of the best equipment available and adapt those products to fit the Porsche platform perfectly. The speakers and amplifier are 100% plug and play and bolt-in using all of the original hardware. Not a single wire needs to be cut nor any holes drilled. In the end, it's also 100% hidden. The new amplifier will live in the same cavity under the passenger seat as the original amplifier and all of the speakers utilize factory locations. We even use an amplifier with a built-in sound processor that we've spent countless hours tuning to the cabin of these cars. We're going for great sound here, and that doesn't need to be seen!

Here are some photos of the components after our modifications/preparation:

























We've got more photos of the installation process itself, but I'm still taking them off the camera and editing them, so stay tuned for more soon!
