For bass it is all about moving air and in the confines of a two-seater cabin you don't have to move much air to get the desired SPL or compression/decompression.

The problem is that when other parts of the "enclosure" begin to move or vibrate they tend to move in a way that counters the effective movement of the cone. To answer that I made the front baffle on my home speakers is about 1-1/2" thick and the remaining walls are double constrained layers of baltic birch almost 1" thick. Hard to do that in a lightweight car. No amount of driver displacement capacity will stop doors and sheet metal from moving when the cone extends or retracts.

Many modern home stereo speakers use 4" to 6" woofers and deliver plenty of bass in a much larger environment. It isn't so much enclosure tuning in these cases because most are sealed cabinets. The days of tuned vented cabinets may not be totally dead, but modern amplifiers produce copious amounts of power to overcome the inefficiencies of a sealed cabinet.

The only thing worse than installing a sound system in a GT car is a Cup car.

Did you install this in a GT2 / GT3 ?

Yes - 996 Turbo S, all the same interior parts

Well, I guess I should’ve said I can’t live without my center console delete. I’m 6’4” and value the extra legroom when driving. Especially on the track.

I love the look of the center console delete. The regular PCCM (same fitment as older air-cooled) is the one for you then

does PCCM connect up to a 996? fitment per porsche "stops" at the 993. if it works, great option. also doesn't look to include android auto but has *wired* car play. Bluetooth only isn't a deal breaker but i'd still need my phone out for maps. No, I don't want an iPhone.

anyone tried regular PCCM in a 996?

PCCM fits 100% perfectly into a 996. PCCM+Centre Console delete are what 996 GT3 dreams are made of

I have been wondering how this can be done.

PCCM with gt3 console delete is the ultimate setup !

996TS

100% agree. I think every 996 (GT3 especially) looks better with center console delete. Reminiscent of the air-cooled interior design.

Having spent a fair bit of time installing the PCCM+, I'm fairly confident that you could get the PCCM to work with a 996 GT3 because it doesn't have a factory external AMP. You'd likely need to build your own wiring harness, but the ISO connectors are widely available. It'd be more complex in any of the 996s that came with a factory amp.

Sorry for bumping this "kind of dead" thread, but I'm really considering the standard pccm (single din) in my 996. But I read somewhere else that while the single din pccm will work in a pre-most 996 (there was a 1999 996 sold on BAT with one), our cars with the most system are not compatible. Does anyone know for sure? It would be a kind of expensive mistake.

I don’t believe our GT3s have MOST systems. We’re all analog, in fact, we don’t even have an external amp which simplifies this whole thing quite a bit.
