I love my stereo but think that I will do fine with my dash speakers and rear speakers alone. I guess the door speakers weigh at least 10lbs and they are coming OUT !

 

I like the way you think Richard! How light is your car now?

 

Have you already bagged the subwoofer? It's good for 12# more!

 

There are lightweight speakers available

 

It was 3200lbs last time I had the car weighed, going down ....

 

what all do you have out?

Chris Green

 

All sound insulation in interior and in car body + carpets, spare wheel, tool kit, rear wiper, sat nav, Oem exhaust with 200 & 400 cats removed, rear seats out, Oem Manuals, rear tow hook mounting point, exhaust heat shield all out, lighter Gemballa steering wheel, lighter battery, driver and passenger seat back centre section foam, carbon replacement side sill covers and very soon door stereo speakers out, Bilstein Pss9s.

 

Is it still awd?

 

Yes as daily driver in winter

 

Please post weight of speakers when you get them out and if the covers reattach without the speakers in place?

 

get CF doors while ur at it

 

The speaker covers are part of the door panel and the speakers themselves a completely separate internal unit, I will post a pic when out

 

Ok that was actually easier and more fun than I thought

1. Physically pull out the bottom of the door panel ( push on clips )

2. At each corner push in the speaker cover into the door panel

3. Drop down the speaker cover under the door panel and take it out

4. Simply unscrew the speakers

5. Reassemble

The door speakers are the heaviest about 3lbs each and I also took out the front speakers from under the windscreen and left the covers in place too. All in all about another 10lbs out.

So now I am left with the rear speakers only and as I have my sound insulation out the engine anyway adds some base sound. Its also kinda funky as having all the noise, engine and music coming from the rear of the car somehow adds to the whole 911 experience.

 

Thanks for the write up, pictures and weights. Have you removed the sub box as well?

 

Where is the sub box located Al, I dont have a Bose system fwiw, mine is a May 2001 car; I have CD changer in the front trunk for my PCM but no amp that I know of unless its under the passenger seat etc ?
