Sound Systems
Good Evening Pelicans,
I'm new here, but have really enjoyed reading threads on a variety of topics.
I've got a '95 C-4 Cab that Ive had for 5 years. Bought with 16k miles, <30k now. Very clean exterior, near perfect interior.
Sound system totally s***s, and all speakers desroyed, apparently by heat. Get no discerable sound from any of them.
Got estimates between $ 1,000-2,000, depending on whether I get a power amp system, or just a radio/CD and coaxial speakers.
Well, they want about $ 300 to install, and I used to do this all the time years ago. So, I figure I can at least replace the speakers, got that done except for the 2" tweeters in thew door. The owners manual has squat for info on the system except for specs on the parts. My car did not have the CD changer/player, but does have controls for it on the radio. But I've decided that I rally want to replace with a all new radio/CD player too. Can I get the player out without removing dash ? It doesn't seem like there is any room to reach under to loosen retention screws at all without removing or loosening dash. How big a deal is that on this car ? I really hate to do that myself,and I hate to have a kid do it cause I know they don't put all the screws back, and this is like a virgin car. The manual talks about an amp, but I don't know if that is a separate unit or just part of the Porsche radio. When I got the neww speakers (2 6" in doors and 4" in back side panel) in, I was dis heartened that they sound fine at first, but after about 10-15 seconds they get real scratchy. Is this a problem with the radio/amp that will go away when I put in the new radio ? Same thing when I put a cxassette tape in. Funny hoe this used to be so easy when I was 20 ! I don't mind spending the money really, but I decided I don't need 80 watts/channel, and I didn't want somebody screwing with my car.
HELP !!
