If you want upgrades, the man to talk to is Rod Birch from Car Audio Innovations. https://www.caraudioinnovations.com/ He's been doing stereos (and specializing in Porsches) for at least 25 years. He used to be very action on Rennlist back when it was via email and run by the guy, John Dunkle, I think.
The usual issue that comes up with speakers is that the foam disintegrates and they start to rattle. I've had that happen to both large door speakers, and now the pass' mid-range speaker is rattling.
I get decent sound out of the stock speakers, but I believe that's because I've got the aftermarket head unit and amp. |
Really, the head unit made that much difference? I often wonder why car mfg, especially high end cars co. do not put a betting sounding systems in their cars whereas a cheap 150.00 Pioneer head unit is head and shoulders above the stock unit for a fraction of the cost? I have the double din Pioneer units in both my diesel truck and 4 runner. They are great and simple to use. I am one of those guys that wouldn't replace anything unless it isn't working. The both both went out within a year of each other so I was glad I replaced them. I will check out Rod, thanks.
