If I could hear one installed, I would be way more likely to buy one....anyone have one in the NJ area?

I have this same question as I wait for allocation on a Macan build.
Do I need to get the Bose system upgrade or can I save $900 and apply that to a Musicar package based on the non-Bose configuration.

Any more updates? Any group buys? I've seen many 992 posts but this is the only post I've seen for Macans. I have a 24' GTS with BOSE and want to upgrade..... you know.... "no highs, no lows, must be BOSE!"

I'm curious on details too (including group buys). I saw the prices per stage but what's included? I think I found their website onlien but the online store is "under construction" so I have no idea what's included for the prices.

Right now I'm working on getting the production set up for this new system. Should be ready to take pre-orders by the end of the week!
I'm interested in purchasing the musicar upgrade for my 2017 Macan, where can I submit a purchase order for delivery?

If you've been trying to get a hold of us lately with limited success, I do apologize.

We've come to the realization over these past couple months that my bandwidth doesn't allow me to keep up with this side of our business as well as our local custom projects anymore. Because of that, I've decided to take a step away from our local business to focus solely on taking care of this channel. If you've reached out via email to porsche.audio@musicarnw.com, I'm working on catching that inbox up this week and getting everyone the response they deserve. If you haven't yet done that, please send me an email there and I'll get back to you as soon as I reach the top of that list.

I know a lot of folks I chat with in this community also run a business, so I appreciate everyone's understanding while we work through some of these growing pains together. Every Porsche deserves great audio and we're here to help in that pursuit.

To answer the questions about the Macan more specifically, we do have Stage 1 through 3 available and ready to order with a 1-2 week lead time.

Thanks

– Nick

How does the sound quality compare to the Burmester option, and is it significantly cheaper?

All this has already been explained in previous posts. It’s well written. Might want to check it out.

A couple of, hopefully, easy questions for @12v Nick!

Firstly, is the existing boot-mounted Bose subwoofer left in place, and contributing to the overall sound balance, or is it effectively taken out of circuit when the Bose amplifier is replaced with the Musicar Stage 2 or Stage 3 DSP amp?

And secondly, does the DSP tune change when upgrading from Stage 2 (using the standard OEM mids and woofers) to the Stage 3 installation (using the new Musicar mids and woofers)?

Many thanks

James

This upgrade looks fantastic. I did a similar upgrade to the Bose system in my 2017 Camaro ZL1 convertible replacing the speakers with Morel Hybrids, added JL sub, replaced amp with Rockford Fosgates, and used Helix DSP/GM650 interfaces to keep stock head unit.

Questions:

* I see the Morel logos on the mid/bass speakers - are the tweeters Morel too?
* Who is the OEM of the amp and do you have output power specs to share., Is it louder?

I live in Portland, OR, so if I get a Macan, I intend to “cheat” and have you install it!
