Having said that, these guys told me that some of the Porsche sports cars have little in the way of sound insulation to save weight etc.
apparently Macan and Panny are by far the best (if not totally perfect)

Thanks Jon, I firmly believe that the standard audio/amp is sufficient for the cabin and good set of speakers and some sound deadening tape to reduce resonance will give me the desired effect.

I am more worried of amateurs removing door panels, breaking clips and introducing rattles. Those are my pet-hate!

Can second this Jon, p
The Macan we now have has base Audio and it's fine.
I think the 911 will be adequate too.

Yea! I just want better set of speakers and improved door resonance.

When I drove 992 T at PEC it had speaker resonance in both doors at 6000 rpm. It was odd and can easily get resolved.

Yep. I don’t know if the 992T is the same, but the 991.2 Carrera T certainly had less sound reducing insulation, to save weight. :geek:

There may well be a few other Spyders joining us for balance 😉
