(A whole bunch of torx screws) Then fill the cavity with some type of insulation material, I just used a sweater cut into pieces, and screw it back together.

It works pretty well if you do the "packing" mod (filling the chamber with pillow stuffing).

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.

POST 1Original post

When shopping for floor mats I noticed that there's the " Bose " mats have a big scallop out of the passenger mat. I have Bose badges on my door trims, the big engine cover mounted speaker unit and vin data shows " Bose surround sound". However, I noticed last night that the passengers side foot well doesn't not appear to require any such scalloping of a floor mat. An I missing something? Are their different Bose packages? Cheers, Julian

POST 2Original post

I believe the Boxsters don't require the floor mat cut out because the woofer for the Bose is above the engine deck, where as with the Cayman , it is down in the passenger floor well.

POST 4Original post

I’d like to hear a Cayman with sub, I wonder which one sounds better? I was surprised when I took out the sub on the Boxster , all it has in there is two small 4-5” woofers. It’s all about the resonance chamber.

POST 5Original post

Wow, that's some level of detail and knowledge you have!! Thanks for sharing.

POST 6Original post

It's a typical Bose subwoofer setup in both cars, just a slightly different configuration. Bose 's sub concept is always pairing smallish long-throw drivers with a big chamber. In the Cayman the sub unit is at the floor of the passenger side, against the center console. It works pretty well if you do the "packing" mod (filling the chamber with pillow stuffing).

POST 7Original post

I did the stuffing mod on my Boxster sub, it helps so much. Gets rid of that plastic-sounding echo and now you can turn up the bass. I used an old sweater and just cut it into pieces.

POST 8Original post

What is the "stuffing mod"? One of the goals for my eventual stereo upgrade is to get more power and bass if possible.

POST 9Original post

You take the subwoofer out, flip it over, take it apart. (A whole bunch of torx screws) Then fill the cavity with some type of insulation material, I just used a sweater cut into pieces, and screw it back together. The bass will sound much better after.

POST 10Original post

OK, that's pretty much what I thought. I used to use fiberglass insulation back in the day I made my own subwoofers.

POST 11Original post

interesting , how do you get the sub woofer out , does the panel just pop out ? What year are you talking 987.1 or 987.2

POST 12Original post

Removing the subwoofer box is just a matter of putting the top into service mode, two hand twist cam fasteners, and unplugging the wire connector. The picture here is for the storage box for non- Bose cars, but the Bose subwoofer is basically the same.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
