I was wondering if anyone hear with a GT2 has done a sound system and what did you have done. I'm not looking for anything crazy and I wanted to look stock. Obviously the one thing that will be noticeable is the headunit.
I don't have much knowledge in this department so I would like to hear suggestions. I want a single DIN with CD player and IPOD connection. I would like high end speakers and amp and has to fit in stock location. What sucks about the GT2 is I don't have a sub and no speakers on the doors. All I have to work with are the dash and rear speakers.....4 speakers thats it. Can I get good quality out of just 4 speakers??

Thanks
Raudel

 

Raudel,check out the Alpine Ipod head unit on mine and Phil's car ,I am very happy with the sound quality.

For the hi-end speakers,it really depends on the type of music you listen to mostly ,I would recommand DLS topline producs for rock/pop/electronic/Dance music . Dynaudio and Rainbow speakers for Jazz/Classical .

You can easily get good quality sound out of 4 speakers .Actually ,the best stage and clarity coming out just 2 speakers ,lots of sound quality audiophile guy disable rear speakers and run front upgraded front speakers only in order to get the best image and stage .

 

Gary,
which model head unit do you have? Are you using the DLS? Do you know if they make the sizes I need for the dash and rear...also what amp are you using?

 

The factory give you a basic sound system for weight saving.

 

with 900 hp I'm not worried about a little extra weight

 

I have the iDA-X100 unit ,Alpine came out with a newer version iDA-x305 which looks identical but will work with Iphone,too.

I still have the factory bose system on the 996TT(no 900hp,need to save the weight for now ) ,but on the s4 ,I have DLS UP6 6.5 "2 way component for the front/Arc Audio xxk 4 channel amp/Image Dynamics IDQ 10" sub .

For a 996 setup ,I would suggest a 5.25" 2 way component for the front ,6.5" mid-bass drivesr for the rear( don't put another 2 way component for the rear like lots of shops do ,that usually mess up the sound stage),a 8" sub for the low ,and a muti-channel amp to power front and rear speakers ,a small amp to power the sub . DLS and other hi-end brand have all the speakers that will fit on 996 .

For a GT2 stock location setup ,check this custom setup by CDT audio for the dash

or the Morel ovation xo 4" point source speakers to fit under the dash

And also consult to your installer about the products he is familiar with ,cuz a final sound adjustment and tuning is the only key to accomplish an utimate sound system .
