Thanks for the pictures Chad996Pgh, I wasn't even aware they had a version like that. BMW did this back in 2010 to save money on base model imports. Horrible sound.

Sure thing! I was surprised to find that after I took the door panels off..No wonder I couldn't get a good sound out of them..when I was testing out different crossover setting, nothing sounded good except some a little midbass as vocals were pretty hollow.

Given I have the 8" Burmesters in the doors, band-passed at 40-250 (and sounding good) do you think adding a custom corner-loaded 6.5" JL 6w3V3 Sub would add any benefit?

Thoughts on adding a center?

12v Nick

The 6W3 is a phenomenal-sounding little sub that would definitely help the sound — just put one in an R8 and loved it.

I wouldn't bother with the center, waste of time in a car. There are other more rewarding upgrades.

Don't want to veer too much off topic though - PM me if you have more questions.

Hey 12vNick. Any more info on the Dynaudio for the 991? Which speakers actually fit in the front door?

12v Nick

The front door houses an 8" Woofer and a 4" Midrange. The speakers used in that build were the Esotar E650 and E430. I'll post up a build log soon.

What speakers are in the back quarter panels and did you replace them with Esotar speakers?

12v Nick

Rear speakers? Who needs those?

Been a while. Any update on progress with a kit or specific components to upgrade the Bose system in the 991.1?

STG

Any recent upgrades?? Haven't seen any chat for a while on this.

So correct me if I am wrong but the Bose system no longer comes with the behind the rear seats subwoofers? I was kind of surprised about that. Is it an option? Easy install?

Very Cool.
That used to be factory Bose?

For a 991 (& probably any car) there is 12V Nicks work of art:

It's genius how he inverted the driver to gain more enclosure volume.
Plus using factory attachment points and duplicating said attachment points on top the enclosure.

Nice post; great info.

STG

Bump for a great thread! Been quiet lately.

12v Nick

Oh.... there's something stirring in the echo's....

If you're contemplating this upgrade in the near future, you should hold out just a bit longer. More info coming soon...

Hmmmmmm...... Something better than Burmester tweeters?? That picture looks sweet.
