Hello
I got my 2000 Porsche 911 over a year and a half ago. After addressing the mechanicals, now I am looking into the audio system.
The car has a Pioneer AVIC-N3 stereo and a Rockford Fostgate P450.4 amplifier installed in the trunk. See pics below.
The problem is the sound quality sucks! It sounds like a cheap $40 boombox from Walmart with very little bass. Also the placement of the amplifier renders the baggage compartment almost useless!
The car also came with a mobile analog TV tuner, which was rendered useless when the federal government converted to digital TV in 2010. There is this TV wiring crawling on top, left and right sides of my front windshield. See pics of mobile TV wiring below.
What I want to do is:
1. Remove the useless analog TV tuner and wiring connected to the radio
2. Improve the sound quality
3. Reposition the location of the amplifier
I visited my local car stereo installer and they want to charge me $85 an hour and they said this could easily take the whole day!
Your suggestions on how to start this project would be greatly appreciated. Step by step instructions would be very helpful.
Sincerely
Al G
