Soon to be back in the fold

[AJV8]

After a hiatus for a few years today I’ve put a deposit on this beaut.

One of the first things I want to try and sort is stereo. I saw a post from BigGriff but the links weren’t working. I’m thinking amp powering speakers in the rear bulkhead and the standard speakers, but keen to get the soundstage forward as well. Can obviously do some tweeters but has anyone mounted any in the door cards with any success?

Can’t wait to pick her up in due course. 991.1 911 really hasn’t ticked the boxes, yes it’s fast, but my god it’s boring !

Hi- I have a Tamora in which I installed a fairly basic head unit (i.e. <£100), upgraded the rear speakers to Clarion 3-ways, fitted a pair of front tweeters and added an underseal low profile subwoofer.

PS welcome aboard! what a splendid looking purchase

PPS why was the 991 boring? interested

Tweeters either end of the dash shelf work well

Ok cool thanks ! I had a tam before and at least you get some speakers in the door cards which brings the sound a lot further forward. Don’t want to have everything coming by from behind really. I’ll definitely get some tweeters up front though in an attempt to get sound moved up.

Thanks, yes very very happy with it. Pines after a Tuscan for some time.

The 911 was just too competent. It was quick but being a 4S you couldn’t provoke it at all. It was also PDK which definitely isn’t for me. As the years have passed I’ve realised that my fun cars need to be manual. Fine for the family wagon to be auto, but manual is just so much more engaging.

Now going to have three 25+ year old cars to sit alongside the Rangey. Ironically the Rangey is probably the least reliable of the bunch. Well, at the moment - let’s see with the Tuscan crossed&#129310;

No speakers in my door cards sadly. nor were there wires there in readiness

Know exactly what you mean. I had an early Tuscan and after about 3 years thought about upgrading to a Porsche. After a test drive thought the Porsche was great but just too competent and not a lot of fun. I wanted my second car to cause me to grin every time I drove it - the Tuscan did but the Porsche just didn't. Kept the Tuscan for a few more years until kids came along - still miss the rawness of the Tuscan. Enjoy your new toy!

Mine too. Just the 2 in the rear bulkhead.
