Well, things can get lost in translation sometimes in writing. Sorry on my end for my misunderstanding. It seemed out of character for you. Thank you for clarifying. I deleted my message too.

New video on base 911 by Joe Achilles

He really likes the base but thinks the T may be better.

On the serious tip. I’ve shared previously here more than once my exact plan. But here goes again….I wanted ground shaking bass with better sound from existing speakers for less than $2K. This may not be what u may personally want. If it is…allow me to complete it 100% first. Then I’ll let folks seriously interested know exactly what I did.

And I promise to be more serious here going forward.

Edited >> I was going to add links to my prior posts covering what I am doing but I think easier to just repeat. I’ve shared all of following in past posts including pic of my box. I am adding 3 components. 1- amplified sub box 400 watt RMS, 2 - processor and 3 - more powerful amp than stock (150 watts total) to get more out of existing speakers. Yes, they can handle more. Not planning on replacing stock speakers (this is the main way to keep costs down). Waiting to obtain component #3 which is out of stock. Depending on what I can actually get for the amp, may need to update #2. My audio guy and I agree best for my wants and budget, but again may not be what u may be looking for. If it is, let me know and I’ll provide final update once 100% complete. For comparison, the Porsha Burmester system is 855 watts total including 300 watts for the sub. I wanted more bass than that…again, may not be what u want and I’ve recommended numerous times in past posts to speak to ur local audio specialists to get ur needs met…

@Macboy I’ve shared everything planned / done here on past posts as well as todays post. I thought u were already updating other forums as you said you’d do. Feel free to add to other forums. Likely things will end fully done with the 3 components mentioned. There are a gazillion brands (personal choices) so won’t go into that. Only thing I could provide an update on is how well the final component- amp added goes, but I’ve previously mentioned that we hooked up a cheap amp and it sounds better than stock. Hope this helps.

From what I can tell, it seemed most cars with decal delete arrived with them anyway for roughly the first two months of production (Feb & March). But at some point - possibly April (just a rough guess!) - they seem to have started honoring the decal delete when requested. I don't recall seeing or hearing about any more cars coming with decals despite decal delete for the past 2-3 months. Since my car was built in March & I haven't seen it yet, I am still worried my car has the decals on it. A few days ago, I asked - for the fourth time - about having someone in Leipzig check on my car. Of course if your car shows up with the side decals and you don't want them, the dealer can easily remove them; for me, I don't want the presence of side decals to spoil the moment I've waited years for - when they yank the sheet off my car at the Leipzig delivery center. And, beyond that, I refuse to drive around Europe and photograph my car for 16 days with unwanted side decals so here's hoping that, if present, mine are removed as part of Leipzig factory delivery prep!

Bring your own hair dryer to remove the alleged decals.

Nah - let them do it. They should build/prep/deliver the car as ordered. And I don't use a hair dryer.

Here goes if you like listening to the sound of various 911's..
Look out for the Dakar at 4.45

It's held every month. Third Wednesday of the month through the summer. I will probably be there next one. We could get a line of T's but we are all GT Silver!!

True - but mine is easy identifiable due to my highly exclusive coloured wheel caps🤩
Sadly I’ll miss it as I’m in Dubai.

To all that PM’d me about the audio, sorry but busy weekend and I’m responding to ur PMs this AM. Im no audio expert but I do have some experience. I get how disappointed many of u are with stock, but it can be significantly improved. I will respond my best thoughts to every PM. As mentioned in my prior posts, I’m at stage 2 of 3. Bass is exactly what I hoped for and more. I wanted bass thumping like in below GIF, ha. Only thing remaining is getting more volume and quality out of stock speakers. Bue I’ve mentioned here that we tested it overriding the built-in amp with a cheap $100 amp and sounded stronger. I’m just waiting for the one I really want (my brand preference). Also mentioned several times in past but I had my installer use a custom harness (no wires cut). This may not matter with all.


Also, I was joking back to folks joking with me. Hope no one took my Jerry Maguire “help me help u” GIF as solicitation for $. I thought no way anyone would take that in the wrong way and think I would seriously be asking folks for payment for sharing, but I was wrong. Be more careful what I post here going forward!

Think I may struggle to do the July meet, however August is a possibility.
