Default Radio Delete and Lithium Battery

Just got my 991 RS this week and have two questions. I ordered the car with the radio delete option and I'm not sure if the car has the speakers behind the doors and elsewhere in the car or not?
Also ordered the lithium battery and not sure if it comes installed and if so do i also get the regular acid battery?

Thanks

You will get the lead acid battery installed in the vehicle and the LI in a box, that is how my RS came, and the 4.0 before that.

I don't believe so. Somewhere in a thread, someone mentioned door speakers were left for alarms. That's it.

As for the battery, yep, mine came as stated above.

Just curious, considering all the weight weenies out there, does everyone who orders the lightweight battery and radio delete bother to take out the compressor and tire sealant out of the frunk? Those 2 items are easily worth a few pounds.

Hi Robert. Nice to see you here. As I'm sure you know, this forum is awesome. You should post some pics of your gt3 RS. I'm sure everyone would love to see Miami Blue

Your car was delivered with a lead-acid battery under the frunk and a LiOn in the box. You need to get the dealer to install it.

20 lbs if memory serves me right. (Mostly speakers - radio worth 5 or 6 lbs itself)
