"No highs, no lows... Must be BOSE" 
As the old saying goes.
Yes I have it in my C2S, but it's better than std stereo for now.
I used to sell all high-end stereo gear long ago, and I'd love to have a nice system like that!
My home system back in the day was sick.
Geez, how many caps did you install to keep power to it?
I also like that decal type emblem on the glovebox! NICE TOUCH!
Enjoy it in good health!

This is probably what Bose has done. They have “mapped” the inside of the 997, determined the deficits, and corrected them with a digital crossover and equalizer.

Thousands of measurements are taken over a couple of months of garage testing and test drives and the systems engineer then manipulates the EQ based on algorithm results but more importantly, experience. As mentioned, PAG approves the final tunings......strange, the Germans can never seem to get enough bass......

After presenting this speaker to his bosses, they told him it was too expensive and he would need to shave $.05-.07 off! BTW, he pulled it off.doug

The 997 appeals to a broad range of demographics, as evident by this thread. Live and let live.
As for you guys who have to throw your personal politics into a discussion of car stereos, you're just sad.
Geez, what a bunch. I invite you guys need to go hang on the 993 Board to understand the class that can go along with the marque and how Porsche owners can support one another.

Psychoacoustics are subjective (actually what part of audio isn't), but most people tend to chose this 'standard EQ' in double blind A/B listening tests over the past 25 years.

FWIW: B/T did a great job of posting pix. Why would anyone give a f**k what his motives are, and why should he be criticized for either his taste or opinions. If you don't care for taste, look, opinion and feel compelled to sound off, just note you don't care for it and leave personal BS out of the eqution. But one can't criticize the nice documentation pix.
FWIW-II: Posrsche is not the gold-standard guys, for all that moves (yeah, I know no one contended such, but one could sure unfer that from some of the posts). I pre-ordered a 99tt until I saw the (IMHO) butt-ugly front and rear. It's as if PAG said to themselves "Gee the F360 and F430 integrate the exhaust into the rear, and they're pricey cars so let's go for it, too." Genuinely carppy look (again, IMHO). So then I had a July build slot for 997 C4S Cab, until I (IMHO) realized that the new semi-retro headlamps came as a package with irrelevant turn/fog lamps. Someone tell me why (ITHO) the extra lights, when turn signals could have been integrated in the grill work. At least they brealized the error of their design-ways and tried to correct it with the tt. How many 997 drivers actually use fog lamps? Change the front-end of the 997tt so that turn signals are in the fog lamp blisters and color over the stupid-looking LEDs and then the 997tt has a front-end that is ok (IMHO) and an *** that's still butt-ugly.
So much FWIW and humble opinions. B/T, nice post!

To clear the two error codes you will get if you unplug this connector, simply turn your wheel hard left, then hard right then drive the car for 2 minutes.

I'm sure it sounds great. I am very interested in the photos of the subs; please do post them when they are ready!
Cheers!

What did they install as far amps, speakers, if I could ask what was the cost for the install. They did a nice job on the head unit. Is that a piece of carbon fiber around the unit or abs plastic. Nice flush mount on the amps in the trunk.

I am new to the 997 as well as a lot of people on here, the cars only been out a few years.
So again, give me one example of someone I blasted for not sharing my taste.

If you read this entire post it is obvious that many p-car owners are put off by your mods and comments about the stereo system they paid extra for... however, I agree that you have not done anything but share your car and your opinions and did NOTHING to attack anyone on this post. I personally don't like what your car looks like (kind of ghetto in my eyes) nor the choice to modify the face plate because I am a bit more of a purist, but to each his own right? Happy trails!
