High Performance Audio install help


Recommended Posts

Is there any info or DIY on how to install the Porsche High Performance Audio System?

Or if anyone has installed this could they give some pointers.

Im guess my biggest question is wondering how the door speakers get installed.

Also is the amp a direct plug and play with the existing amp?

I was trying to install yesterday... I could only install the loudspeakers of the roof

Ill assume you meant dash though having roof speakers may help with the sound :)

Was there a reason you did not install the amp? I was hoping this would plug in without modifications.

Also what was your impression between the dash speaker you removed and installed? Bigger magnet? Better cone? Crossover on both?

These loudspeakers seem of high quality and add clarity and brightness to the sound. The sound test with the rear standar loudspeakers (poor bass) improves significantly the clarity and espacialidad being absent obviously bass on not having been installed into front doors.

I have not dismantled the loudspeakers since they come sealed, but the components of the filter as well as the size of the magnets seem of high end. I don´t know what is the brand. The bass ones on the other hand it has cones of paper and standard magnet and dulling for what I am going to change them into others but first i´ll test it.

I have not installed still the amplifier since my car comes without the 490/680 option and have to wire up everything included the doors. I couldn´t found a conectors for the ampli...

The amplifier and the topology of construction seems of high quality, includes a ventilator since it works up to low impedance

I have been looking for all the sides for the esqueme and the conector of the amplifier but I do not manage to find it.

My project is to install the amplifier that comes with the tequipment if this is possible and I find the pin map and test it. Usually the upgrade systems cut the frequencies Fc<50 Hz, test with ear and computer and if is necesary add an additional amplifier and a subwoofer puts an digital eq like this http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_cleansw....php?page_id=79 or similar.

I put new equipment photographies

Excuse me my bad english... :huh:

Years ago Porsche issued a bulletin on how to install the HPAS.

The TSB was actually here on this site in the TSB section, I made a donation and became a contributing member.

This is exactly what I needed.
