Suggestion

i have the stereo gutted out of my car (weight reduction you know!) but it would be cool if i could stuff a small bluetooth amp into the rear speaker unit, run some switched power back to it, and drive it from my iphone - a stereo system that i could pull out of the car when at the track.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

20 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Fairly easy setup. Run power, RCA cable, speaker wires, and amp turn on signal to the area. Much improved sound over just the front speakers.

POST 2Original post

interesting - it fits with the 986 rollbar ok?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It fits just like the 986 version, and secures to the rear deck the same way.

POST 4Original post

cool. any idea what the quality/volume would be if you just ran with the rear unit and no door or dash speakers?

POST 5Original post

Does this only work for 986:es with the BOSE (MOST) sound packages?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It could work for any 986. I don't have Bose.

POST 7Original post

Do you happen to have the part number?

POST 8Original post

Has this unit an integrated amp? If yes, how will get the MOST bus signal to the amp?

i have the stereo gutted out of my car (weight reduction you know!) but it would be cool if i could stuff a small bluetooth amp into the rear speaker unit, run some switched power back to it, and drive it from my iphone - a stereo system that i could pull out of the car when at the track. not sure i would get enough usable volume out of it, however. and, i have the 987 engine cover, so was uncertain whether to use the 986 or 987 rear speaker unit, as didn't know if they would fit with the cover/roll bar; good info to know.

POST 11Original post

I looked at ripping out the MOST system and all the associated stuff. In the end I bought a Bose Mini Soundlink II. Cheaper than a head unit. No wiring, 10 hrs battery and sounds great. Also goes into the garden, work and anywhere else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I use this same system; works great!

POST 13Original post

crazy - i have two of those at home. loud enough for cruising around?

POST 14Original post

Perfect for cruising. If going for a proper burn I prefer the flat six sound track screaming to the redline so it gets thrown in the glovebox then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

POST 16Original post

I had one of those, got stolen by one of my sons jackass friends. . Couldnt proove which one, stole set of headphones also. I just dont like loose things sitting around driving normal and an emergency stop things go flying.

POST 17Original post

OP, That is seriously too cool. Looks a ton better than the factory bose!

POST 18 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I contacted pdwight about making a harness to make this mod plug and play. He didn't think too many would be interested. Let him know if you are.

POST 19Original post

Oh I'm not, I would be if I didn't have a crazy system for my car. But it is pretty awesome.

POST 20Original post

Hi, Just read your post on addiing the Bose sub shelf to the system. I just purchased one my self and would like to hook it up to a aftermarket Clarion head unit in my 987 Boxster. Would you be able to explain me the meaning of the wires ( colour codes ) which are connected to the subwofer build in AMP. Ihave Would be much appreciated. Thx in advance. Thomas
