New Deck advice
Hey all,
I want to replace my deck after the gremlins have killed my stock one. My deck has all functions but no volume control. It was a sporadic problem but now its permanent. (99 C2 Cab)
I went to tweeter and they said I would need to rewire to get a nonstock raidio in there. Is this true? What kind of deck should I get?
I want to ditch the useless stock amp and deck and replace it with good stuff. What do you guys recommend? I have about a grand to play with.

If you are changing the HU, would you like to keep the stock look? Alpine and eclipse are nice.
Not sure on the amp but there are no doubt many choices. Get something that is compact and runs cool (MOSFET / high current).
After that, you'll want to upgrade speakers!

The harness can be purchased at Crutchfield, etc, but I as others have advised I would contact Rod Birch at caraudioinnovations.com as all he does is Porsches....he can give you a good bang for buck recommendation for head units and amps plus he indcludes all the necessary parts/adapters for a DIY install.
