The last pic is of the Porsche Soundaktor (engine sound generator). What is the cost of all of the stereo setup? Let us know how the install goes and how it sounds.
Despite being somewhat addicted to coffee I've never actually thought of that & I know it wasn't really car related as such, but I just love that post. You really are quite the eccentric Sir!Thanks for the pics. Please do keep us up-to-date.
That's an awful lot of Dynamat. When I quieted my previous espresso machine I was told to use only small portions on each panel. IIRC one packet did the whole machine. It is great stuff. When finished you could hear the water circulating and the switches/levers then made quiet 'clunks' rather than loud 'clangs'.

I won't enter into further discussion here with regard to the sound quality of the Bose & Burmester systems available for the 718. That subject has already been largely discussed elsewhere, by both myself & a great many others. However I will point out that both of those systems actually include active subwoofers. A 100-watt unit in the case of the Bose & a 300-watt unit with the Burmester. Both units are integrated into the vehicle body.Not sure I've ever come across a Porsche with a sub in it before aha.
for car applications the general rule of thumb is to cover approximately 30-40% of the large flat panel areas with a cld (dynamat) which is what the inside of the outer skin is. i did a little more than that in the doors, maybe 50%, for a couple of reasons. first, i'll be mounting the mid in the door and giving it some decent power; second, after seeing what the rest of the door is made of a little more won't hurt; third, i have a few boxes laying around still from past installs for myself and friendsThanks for the pics.

if you have a cayman and just want to add a sub the area under the rear speakers is wide open and would be perfect for a glassed 8" enclosure. any reputable shop should be able to knock it out pretty easy. i've installed my fair share of those slim all-in-one subs and i have never liked any of them (then again i have spoiled ears) and the only place i could see one getting installed would be in the trunk.My car is still on order and I went with the standard stereo. I actually never turned the radio on during my test drive. I figured I could upgrade it in the future, if I need to. I am not a real audiophile, but may want to add a powered sub, if necessary. Any recommendations?
Wow that's a serious project that you've undertaken, and with the money your spending I'm sure the difference will be night and day. Are you just an audiophile to go to such extreme measures with the system upgrade? Most people would probably just throw in an amp and some aftermarket speakers and call it a day. You'll have to let us hear how it sounds. Not sure I've ever come across a Porsche with a sub in it before aha.
