Nick,

Can you please post a video on disconnecting the center channel speaker. I was lucky enough to be in the first group for the tweeter upgrade and am really enjoying them! But need to get that center channel cut off. Thanks.

12v Nick

I'll do my best on that. Let me get through these Round Two orders and I promise I'll get a car in here and make a "center channel delete" video for everyone.


EDIT: I've also updated the original post with the full list of orders for everyone's convenience.

Hi Nick,

Would it be possible for me to get in on the third round order?

Thank you,

John

Absolutely John – There are still 8-9 slots available on the Round Three order. (see the updated list in the initial post) Just shoot me a quick email so I can get you the details on how to reserve a slot!

I haven't read through all 23 pages but does this apply to the 991.2 as well?

Disappointed with the Bose system.

12v Nick

Short answer is yes.

Long answer is that it actually seems to make the most notable improvement in the 991.2 Bose platform. When the .1/.2 switch happened, the Bose amplifier got a bit more powerful and gave the tweeters their own dedicated pair of channels(just like Burmester).

Unfortunately, all that seemed to do was emphasize the shortcomings in the low-quality factory tweeter – so in my opinion the 991.1 Bose system sounds better out of the gate. The plus side to this is that when we replace the tweeter with the Dynaudio version, we actually get a bit more performance in the 991.2 because of the extra power.

Thanks, that is a great answer.

Is there anything else other than this tweeter I can do to improve my Bose system?

12v Nick

New tweeters and disconnecting the center channel are really the best "DIY" improvements to the 991 Bose system. We've got planned development on some future upgrades, but nothing in the near future. That said, there's a ton that we can do with the car on-site at our Portland facility. We actually do quite a few more extensive audio upgrades to the newer Porsche Bose platforms. Here are a couple examples:

High-End Sound System Upgrade for 991.2 with Bose

Project "Aria" - An Audiophile's Dream 991

Ok, so this tweeter upgrade is a great place to start and more upgrades from you guys will be coming in the future.

Awesome, thanks for the info.

How about the base stereo in the 991.2, would this upgrade be worthwhile?

12v Nick

No problem, let me know if you want to reserve a spot in the Round Three group buy.

We actually haven't had the opportunity to test the tweeters in that system. The 991.2 base stereo(or Sound Package Plus) ditched the external amplifier and opted for an internal amp within the PCM unit. Not sure how the sound is or what type of power we're dealing with, but I can say that the tweeters were a major improvement in the 991.1 Base Stereo cars. Send me a quick email if you're interested in a set, I have some special arrangements in place for this situation.

I sent you an email Nick. Count me in!

Sounds great! Without reading the the whole thread ( I did read the first several pages), are you saying for the 991.2 you need to disconnect the center speaker to take advantage of the upgrade? Im not opposed to it and would like an upgrade to my BOSE. Thanks
