Digital Sound Processing - Audio Upgrade

Good afternoon,

I am looking to upgrade my speakers in my 2000 996 C2 cabrio - I have a couple questions for the community:

1. Is there anything I need to consider prior to purchasing speakers due to the DSP (Digital Sound Processing) option I have on my car? The DSP is located on the center console and allows you to select several different sound profiles (dynamic, DSP, position, etc.)

2. Can anyone recommend some good speakers - most of the "topics" on speaker upgrades are a bit old, and I'd like to see if anyone has any recent recommendations for dash, door and rear speakers.

3. If I was to upgrade the amp - are there any recommendations, and does anyone know if the DSP would be impacted.

Also, no plans on changing the head unit - I like the stock look of the Becker and have my Ipod aux hooked up - so all set there.

Looking forward to hearing the input - thanks!

Not sure if the DSP will be affected but your sub woofers most likely run off a fiber optic connection with your existing amp. When I replaced the original deck, speakers and amp in my 03 996 Cab, I had to install 2 separate amps (one for the subs, one for everything else). Keep that in mind when you are looking at amps. I paired Kicker amps and Kicker speakers that worked with the existing dash and and door grilles so they look and sound great. Good luck!

I replaced my entire system, including head unit, amps and speakers. I'd recommend Focal PolyGlass speakers. They are excellent. I suspect that you'll have to ditch the DSP system, but if you upgrade the entire system you won't really need it anyway.
