Thank you Musicar
My hobby is building cars and every car I've built has had a superb sound system, with the exception of my K20 Cheyenne which I'm still thinking about.
When I buy new cars, I always option the best audio system offered and am usually disappointed. Porsche's Burmeister (at least in the Cayenne) is mediocre at best. The B&O in my RSQ8 is nothing special. Interestingly, the B&O in my DBS is very, very good. I suppose belt tightening since 2010 then has resulted in less robust systems. Anyway, before I put you to sleep, the Bose system in my 991.2 GT3 is garbage. It makes me wonder what the "Sound Package Plus" sounds like.
No doubt many of you couldn't care less about audio other than that from the exhaust of your high performance cars. I like that sound, too, and have a performance (read "loud") exhaust on every performance car I own. But I still like to listen to music and it needs to be louder and clearer to hear over the exhaust. That led me to a search for my GT3 and eventually to Musicar.
After reading a couple threads here and talking with Nick at Musicar, I took the plunge on a Stage 3 system for the GT3. It arrived yesterday. Opening the boxes, everything about it screamed professionalism, from the bespoke foam, wood and cardboard packaging to the elegant finishes to the customized speakers, amplifier and wiring harnesses. The system cost $6000 which, while not seemingly cheap, is actually great value for what you're getting. The best part is it's all plug and play. It took me five hours start to finish to install it, and I listened to several songs from different genres before buttoning things up and putting the seat back in. If I'd taken my car to a custom audio shop they'd have kept it for days, charged much more and god knows what mess they'd have made under the dash and carpets. This is a premium kit and reasonably easily installable by a capable DIYer.
This system rocks. The Bose system sounds like a pocket AM radio by comparison. I couldn't be happier. And I broke only one clip!

Thanks for the review, Mike!
Glad the install wasn't too complicated and even happier that you love the new sound!
