Removing Porsche High-Performance Audio System

[Dale Zelinsky]

I have a friend with a 996 that is at the end of the lease. Early in the "ownership" he added the Porsche High-Performance Audio System.

Apparently to install the door speakers you had to cut the doors a little.

Does anyone know what parts are salvageable without being noticeably removed? I am guessing I can atleast swap out the Amp and the Dash speakers.

Thanks!

I swapped out my hi-fi option amp w/ the hi-perf amp and there's a slight problem. In the hi-fi option there are 5" subs in the door but the crossover is in the amp. In the hi-perf option the crossovers are in the funky door pod speakers. So, if you use the hi-perf option amp in a normal system, you get no bass. The solution is either put in-line low pass filters on the door subs, or add in a real subwoofer.

What year is that car? I didn't know there is another option other than HIFI in pre-02 996. The speaker doesn't look factory.
