Porsche 996 hifi upgrade option.
Discussion
Hi guys,
Hope you can help,
I've got a 1998 996 3.4 Carrera 2 with the non Bose hifi upgrade option which as you probably all know sounds rubbish, I have replaced the dash speakers with JBLs which sound pretty good for a quick upgrade, I have also replaced the door speakers for 5 1/4 JBLs, unfortunately at the time I didn't realise that the door speaker channels of the amp have a crossover to only allow bass through which seem to be unhearable (maybe not a real word) while driving.
My proposal is to swap the pins in the amp speaker plug to feed the door speakers with the output from the rear speakers to give full range and hopefully a huge improvement, the rears I would probably leave disconnected for the time being. Does this sound a feasible idea? My clio sport just has two dash tweeters and two 5 1/4 mid range in the front doors with internal head unit amp and sounds 1000 times better than the Porsche upgrade.
Any help greatly appreciated.
All the best.
Jon.
