Ihave had five Porsche models and a C8 corvette and a S560 Mercedes improved by adding PPF and my installer hides all the edges and has never taken my cars apart and I have another shop do window tint and again -- I do not let them remove window moldings etc. There is no reason to rip these expensive cars apart to install any of these films. the only part removed with the PPF is the front hood emblem. Why are the front wheels removed to install PPF?

 

Another 2 hour lunch pickup. Lunch cold again and I don’t even care.

Come on folks. Post more pics. Don’t need to upload a bunch. Just a couple of them with clean backdrops. I post Montage vids every Thursday morning U.S. time (new routine). Next one coming soon…

Dang, so much variety and entertainment in this thread. Must be the best one on RList. People probably just wishing they also owned a T to participate.

 

Audio Upgrade - Update!!

Focal P-60 Speaker Set for 911 (992) Ltd Edition

Sadly ​​​​I’ve taken the Focal kit back for a refund.

Following numerous calls to car audio companies re installation, I was getting the same response from all.
These speakers are absolutely superb, but with the base Porsche amplifier you’re wasting your time and money. It’s like trying to run a F1 car with a Mini’s engine.
So finally I swapped numerous messages with Focal UK and he said that just assumed buyers would upgrade the amp at the same time and he recommended a couple of Focal amps starting at £800.

All this plus installation and suddenly I’m looking at £5.5k ($6.5k) in total! I love my music but can’t justify that!!

So here’s the thing, if you’ve got that kind of money to spend on upgrading the sound, you MUST go for this set. Focal are known for their high end audio products, (they sell headphones for £30k) so the quality is there and they are amazing value for money. Individually you’d pay around £8k for the 7 speakers.

So back to the drawing board for me.
I’ll happily go to £1.5k maybe £2k ($2.5k) but that’s about my limit!

 

If you get approved for the bucket seats, you should get them. But try them out for a while before you swap them out. They are easily the coolest and best looking seats, not to mention the lightest obviously, and I find them the most comfortable. If you do swap them out, make sure you get a nice chunk of change in addition to the seats you get in trade. They sell for quite a bit on the secondary market when you can find them.

 

Haha. Ok I will bring the original back in a while. You should never fix something that is not broken. My bad lol.

 

Same here. All-in-one thread is best. And I like the new name.

 

"assumed buyers would upgrade the amp" is the key part I get out of this. I guess it makes some sense. If you're buying such quality and want to get the most out of it, you go all the way.

I'm still thinking Focals (once I eventually collect my car that has been sitting in Leipzig without a date either way), but likely a less premium version. I want an improvement, but don't need to turn my lightweight sports car into a full-on theater or listening room on wheels. Maybe something in the $1k range that would benefit from an amp, but rather just expecting to not get full potential from them--all the while feeling better than I would with a limited edition set for $4k without an amp upgrade. I except I'll get something far more efficient/sensitive than the paper stock 992 speakers. Maybe a tad more volume as a result, but definitely better reproduction.

 

Ooo. I know this is for Bose-equipped cars, but just found this which includes pulling-apart-your-992 steps and details.

 

I assume you have the 4.0 engine. Have you tried the OAP pipes combined with the Cargraphic? I LOVE LOVE LOVE that combo on my CGTS4.0. It's got volume and some burbles, etc. Sounds WAY better than my 911T with just Cargraphic.

 

Yes, I saw that Musicar video a long time ago. They make it look easy. The background music is hypnotizing. Love it

@Barkat03 good move returning it. U should listen to me, ha. 150 total watts even if continuous power is not enough if u want more volume and oomph. Again, I’ll be adding 400 watts continuous to just 1 additional speaker. My suggestion is look into getting Audison speakers (should be cheaper but much better than stock or Bose) and add a large amp to drive them. That is my option B if not content with just adding my 1 sub. Good luck.

 

Asked for the thicker mil film which couldn't be crammed around the light like the standard caliber

 

Hi

 

Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so as far as the power to drive those speakers. You can hear it when there is bass in a song and loud vocals at the same time. The power can't do both on anything over 20 or so on volume. Porsche claims it is what, 120Watts? I'm guessing that is Max watts across all channels. The thing is maybe 10-15W RWS per channel. The fact this terrible of a stereo can come in a $130k Porsche is a huge embarrassing failure. Worse car stereo in a new vehicle I've ever had by a landslide.

 

I prefer engine sound over stereo so the quality to me is adequate. People gotta quit hating on the stereo, it's a base stereo with no separate amp. If there's anything that bothers me more it's the cheap quality feeling of the window and sunroof switches.
