Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 911 / January 2006better audio for my 993
I would like to get a better audio quality in my 993 from '95, without having to install an extra amp, subwoofers, cutting bigger holes etc. Therefore just a better head unit and better speakers in the existing space. Any advise? Thanks!! perhaps you could be a bit more specific RE what defficiency is bothering you? I have a 97 and the audio is quite good for a car, though I would prefer a CD in lieu of a cassette with a Cd changer >I would like to get a better audio quality in my 993 from '95, without >having to install an extra amp, subwoofers, cutting bigger holes etc. >Therefore just a better head unit and better speakers in the existing >space.

Sounds cheap in fact. I'm not trying to create a driving disco bar - I'm getting too old for that - but am looking for a good quality sound with good highs and lows at a normal sound level. I have a Mercedes CLS for my work with a built in media center (audio/phone/GPS) and integrated Harmon Kardon speakers and that sounds perfect to me. I just bought this 10 years old 993 for weekend fun and it is perfect for that except for the audio quality. I also want to keep it as close as possible to its original condition, therefore I was thinking about a Becker head unit that doesn't disturb the looks of the sober German dashbord. ok, given that I (something of a stereo "snob" at times) think my 993 sounds fine and yours doesn't, there's a good change that the speakers themselves are bad - mine has multiple speakers in each door panel - I don't know your configuration - I'd start by pulling one of the larger speakers and checking it for rips, tears, or for being a trash speaker. It may be that there was an optional "good" sound system, and a stock "awuful" sound system - I know when I bought a 944 new, the speakers that came in it from the factory didn't quite rise to the level of pathetic. so, step 1 - check/change speakers. Once that is done, see how it sounds. could also be something loose in the doors >Well, if you turn the volume up just a little the sound really gets >worse and the speakers are clearly over their capacity and start [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >thinking about a Becker head unit that doesn't disturb the looks of the >sober German dashbord.
