Dear PAG:

Scrap stereos. Give me a basic radio. Give me crank windows and manual seats. It's a sports car!!!

+1, because the interior of a 911 is so tiny. After $1500-2000 in stereo upgrades, you're getting severely diminished returns.

Dear PAG:

Don't listen to ADias; he's been in the sun too long. Ok, give him the option, but don't make manual crank windows and an am/fm only radio 'standard' equipment.

Power the front and rear speakers with 75w/channel, and the sub with 150w. And please, pretty please, throw in a 5-channel DSP EQ Get it all from JL Audio or HK if you don't want to go B&O or another high end manufacturer. See, it's not that hard. For the "purists," it's less speakers (9) than the Bose system (11?), it's lighter, and it's gotta be cheaper than the current Bose.

Love,

Sadiq

So you think that a great stereo in a 911 is important.

So, you think that a great stereo in a 911 is a waste of money.

How many different people post under your screen name?

It would be useful to appreciate that most people have audio preferences that fall somewhere between a tubi exhaust note and a Lexus Mark Levinson system, and that none of them are wrong.

He sent that pic to the show What Not To Wear! They declined to try to help because they didn't think his fashion sense was salvageable!
