Hi everyone! Apologies for the delays on updating this thread — we had some production issues that pushed our projected timeline back quite a ways. That said, we're finally ready to take orders for the Stage Two system and the goal is to get everything shipped in the next two weeks depending on how many orders we get.
Total cost for the Stage Two is $3,595 and includes:
High-End Dash Tweeter Replacement
Pre-Cut Sound Damping Kit for Front Doors
Premium DSP Amplifier
Fiber-Optic Audio Interface
Everything comes pre-tuned for the Macan acoustics and shouldn't take more than a few hours to install(the amp takes like 10min). We're also doing free domestic shipping on these initial orders. Shoot me a PM here if you're interested or send an email to musicarnw@gmail.com

This looks like a great set-up. Can the components be ordered separately?
I have installed the tweeter on my GT4 and Macan. It's an awesome product! Nick is a great guy to work with! (Now I'm tempted to get the Amp for the Macan since it's only a 10minute install?) Let us know more about the Amp & Audio interface!
If you've seen any of my posts in the other forum sections you know that Musicar has been building Porsche-specific plug-n-play audio upgrades for the past 7 years now. There's always been a good deal of interest in having us support the Macan since it seems to be the most daily-driven on the newer Porsche platforms. We already have the Stage One available(tweeter upgrade) and I know a good deal of you on here already have that installed. The BOSE system is by far the most commonly-spec'd and the configuration we see the most inquiries for, so that's where we're starting with the development process.
Later this month we'll be working with a '22 Macan with Bose. This is going to be for our Stage Two solution. If you're unfamiliar with our upgrade paths, that's going to include:
Premium Tweeter Replacement
Pre-Cut Acoustic Treatment for Doors
Audio Interface for BOSE® system
10-Channel Premium DSP Amplifier
The goals are in line with what we currently offer for the 911 and Cayman/Boxster — A healthy improvement to the detail, clarity, imaging, and dynamics of the sound system with a simple, non-invasive DIY installation that utilizes all factory locations. Everything we do is bolt-in and plug-n-play. No wires cut and no holes drilled. The feedback we've received from these systems in the other Porsches has been fantastic and the Macan has a lot of potential for being an even better platform, acoustically speaking.
Here are some photos of what that setup looks like in the 718 now:
I'll be keeping a log of our progress as we work through developing the mounting systems, wiring harnesses and tuning the sound processor for the Macan's acoustics. If all goes as planned we should have that process wrapped up by the end of the month. That puts production somewhere in the Late August/Early September timeframe.
I wanted to also use this post to gauge some pre-production interest and see who might want to get involved in one of these upgrades. We typically launch new applications with a group buy to help promote the new solution and help early adopters save some dollars on the inaugural build queue.
Let me know what you all think and what questions anyone has. Feel free to PM me with questions, but I encourage asking those publicly to help anyone else that might have the same query.
Looking forward to finally adding the Macan to the roster for our Stage Two systems!

very interested in stage 2 for a 2023 macan S… I am
in NY and will be DIY it.
@12v Nick, what products do you guys offer for a Macan that has the factory installed Burmester system and how much improvement to that system would your products achieve? I think the Burmester in my Macan GTS sounds very good, but just wondering whether it could be made to sound noticably better without spending huge amounts of money.
Registered just for this thread!
You are filling a huge gap within the macan community for a low friction, out-of-the-box plug and play DIY solution.
I already have a pair of your tweeters installed in my bose macan from your 718 package, and the sound quality is great (+ removing center channel).
I know myself and many others would also be interested in replacing the door subs and midrange speakers as well.
There is also a need for a subwoofer replacement in the trunk! If you were able to create a box as a remove/replace solution, or a shallow sub box for those who dont need the spare tire. There is also a market gap for that as well!
I'm staying tuned for when you build/create the next packages, this is awesome!
