I own a 2022 GTS boxster and a 2021 Targa 4 and have a Rubystar neo 911t on the water and I can't compare the T yet - but my Targa has the same engine as the T and in terms of sound the Base 911 engine is far better sounding. THe big difference being the pops, crackles and backfires when downshifting and ofen when coming to a stop from a decent speed. Also - these sounds get better and better as the engine and exhaust age over the first 10,000 miles -- more frequent and louder as well. In fact-- I am trying to find an exhaust mod for the GTS Boxster to give the car more of these fun sounds -- stock it makes none of these sounds at all. The big difference for me is that the cabin of the 911's are more comfortable and more pleasant to live in -- but the Boxster is really fun to weave in and out of freeway traffic and feels like the older original small nimble British sports car convertibles. But then I am 6'2" and 250 lbs -- and the seats in the Boxster are fine but my legs don't really fit well in the Boxster without sacrificing some creature comfort. Also the tech in terms of the screen and stereo etc, is very dated in the 718-- the car still comes with a CD player for God's sake. Crazy Porsche can get away with selling that car with a tiny screen and a five year old dashboard display.
Both great cars to own - -but if I had to own one - any 911 configuration would be my choice -- and on every level actually.
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?
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.
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!
I've been on again off again on my T order, now may be on again with a 24 allocation. Question though - I'm not sure I want the non-folding carbon buckets for a street car. But I like the opportunity to get the buckets on a 24. If I were to get the buckets, anyone interested in swapping them for the base T seats plus some cash? Would the green T interior pack be a mistake if I didn't intend to keep the buckets? I'm thinking about white with green T interior. The alternate is yellow with the standard black interior. Thoughts?
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.
Some things in life were just certain. Like your avatar. The world is changed now. But seriously: with that name and avatar people just take you more serious. If you say something about the 911 everybody would believe you. Mindf0cks
Haha. Ok I will bring the original back in a while. You should never fix something that is not broken. My bad lol.
I vote for maintaining just 1 thread (renaming ok). I barely have enough time to visit this one thread. Whatever is decided, I’ll be looking for the main one.
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.

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.
