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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys. Just bought my 911. I'm still learning about them! My car is a convertible. There are no speakers in the doors. It has the door pockets. I see many others have speakers in the doors. Does this mean my car has the most basic spec stereo? The head unit has been replaced with a bluetooth one, but its a cheap one. The stereo is pretty tinny and crap. Do you think thats the lack of speakers or the crappy head unit? I want to know if its worth me upgrading the headunit or will the speakers always be the let down? Cheers!

POST 2Original post

yes, standard speakers were either nokia or haes but you'll have to also change the amp, as the original amp only works with the tiny speakers

POST 3Original post

With only the original dash speakers (and I guess the ones on the sides, behind front seats?) you'll only get so far with both the volume and quality of the sound, regardless of the radio/amp used.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, thanks guys. Reckon I'll leave it as is for now. A possible future upgrade. @GrafZero yes, there are speakers in the rear too. With wind noise (another issue I need to address) at speed the stereo is not great. But the engine sounds amazing!

POST 5Original post

Try as is - if the car is a toy then you might find you will enjoy listening to the exhaust more than the stereo. Especially if its had any exhaust updates.

when you do get around it, replace all of the oem units and wiring, as well refreshing all of the sound insulation, you will transform your car

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! Yes I think it needs an ICE upgrade at some point. I'm surprised how poor it is for a £65k car even in 2001. But i know there were different levels to choose from. Incidentally. I have now put the hardtop on for the first time. Massive difference in outside noise!
