This Boxster belonged to one of our customers at La Jolla Audio. It has been replaced by a brand new 996 (very lucky guy I guess), but gives you an idea the type of work involved in getting Hi-Fi sound into a small German convertible.
Here is a nice picture of the Porsche from the side. A very striking car. Definately a car that screams for a good stereo system to keep up with the rest of the car.
Here is a rear shot of the car (with the license plate blacked out, something that anyone reading this page should consider doing if they plan on posting their own cars on the internet).              
This is an overhead shot of the front of the car. Not much to say here really.
Just a picture of the ads passive crossovers for the front stage.
This is one of the next steps. We take built a small wooden baffle to seperate the holes from the trunk. The woofer will be mounted on this wood baffle and the woofer will be running freeair.
Well, unfortunately, the installers have to cut holes to vent the bass into the passenger compartment. As you can see, it isn't a massive, jagged hole, but several small precise holes that will not be visible once everything is put back in place.
Next, we mount a regular Kicker Freeair 10" subwoofer onto the wooden baffle (that gets carpeted to help it blend into the car better).
This is what the finished product looks like with an aluminum cover with an acoustically transparent carpet glued over it. Not only does it protect the driver from items in the trunk, it also hides the fact you have an upgraded stereo in your Porsche.
This is one of our highly skilled installers in the process of building the cover for the subwoofer driver. Just an aluminum grate with some carpet over it, but looks almost stock none the less.
A closeup of the driver and baffle. So simple, yet something you don't see every day.
