My new '99 Aero Carrera (subwoofer ?)

[MikeG123]

Ive been waiting a long time for this :)

Another thing is that I wanted to know if any of you have subwoofers connected in your carreras? I used to have a box with 3 12" JL audio w6 subs with a 1000 watt Rockford Fosgate amp in my bmw. I also have 1 12" JL w7. i want to install the w7 but its a very deep and wide sub. obviously im not putting them all in, but im trying to find the best way to get that deep bass back. im not sure if i could find a box that would fit behind the back seat. whats the best way to do this?

pics would help!

I just had my system installed in my 99C4 Aero and it turned out great. I know to a lot of Porsche enthusiasts putting this amount of audio equipt in is butchering the car but please realize that it doubles as a Demo Car for my company and was all free. That being said I used 1 10in Kenwood eXcelon sub for my bass and in that small of a cab it sounds awesome and the inverted sub looks killer from the back window.

Focal Components, 2 Kenwood monitors, eXcelon amps, and of course Sirius Satellite Radio (company the car was built for) Hope this helps

Congrats on the car, it looks awesome! :thumbup: Well worth the wait?

There is a popular shop that does custom systems for Porsches. Car Audio Innovations.

If you call Rob there at 1-800-892-6430 he will be happy to discuss your needs. He can sell you a box that will fit nicely. Check out some of the installs on their web site. Not sure if you will get your 12" in there, but he has done an 11". You will have to talk to him.

I too agree that many may think it sacrilegious to butcher a Porsche for a sound system, but my excuse was that the head end had already been swapped out by the original owner when I bought my car (a '99C2). I wanted (needed?) to add some bass and after talking to a couple of stores ended up with 3x8 inch Rockford-Fosgate subs, a 4 channel amp, and a Panasonic DVD. Sounds great. Since these photos were taken I've taken out the old cassette(!) holder, and have a SR7 radar detector in there.

MikeG123,

Hey what type of bumper cover it that you have on your car, looks sort of like a GT3 style?

Congrats!! I just bought a 99 Black C2 like that!! See attached pic... It came loaded with a bunch of sound crap. I have three amps and a 10 disc changer in the front trunk, a huge sub box behnd the rear seats. Sound excellent but ill be tearing it all out, i bought this car for the track!
