Thanks for that!Hi Frank
Your car looks lovely, glad you’re enjoying so far.
Porsche Wolverhampton have recently upgraded two units to 320kw, and if you didn’t know the OPC is on the roundabout of the M54 junction.
Be careful, the entrance to the OPC is literally just to the left of the road to get back onto the M54 and easy to confuse.
Was the driver a straight swap? I may do this.
Was a straight swap but that's the sub in my Panamera, haven't got the Taycan yet but most likely its the same driver, only the sub housing is different, just check it in the trunk.Please tag me also.. very interested.
Shoot a picture to see how the shallow sub looks like.I also have the base audio system. Did not want the Bose because it reduces the size of the trunk. (the part under the floor).
The base audio system is not bad, but I think you clearly hear it is incomplete. It lacks volume in the lower frequencies.
I installed a 3rd party under seat subwoofer to add more power in the low frequencies without losing space. It is installed under the passenger seat.
It works well now. It confirmed my feeling that the quality is good but it just misses an extra low frequency speaker.
It is an active subwoofer. Powered via 12V connection to the fuse box in the passenger foot area.Shoot a picture to see how the shallow sub looks like.
Did you amp it or how are you powering it?
how do you feed audio in it? I mean how you input the sound into it?It is an active subwoofer. Powered via 12V connection to the fuse box in the passenger foot area.
I agree 100% on the home/portable audio stuff, but for some reason it doesn’t always translate well into a car interior IMO. At home I have a mix of Klipsch, B&W, Sonos, Sony, JBL, and Bose around the house, office and garage. My Bose stuff is the clear #2 behind the Klipsch.Bose actually make excellent lifestyle products and the sound is generally above average. I have heard quite a few of their products over the years and i have always been impressed. Recently i tried various soundbars and the Bose 700 was the clear winner of the ones i tried and kept.
I don’t actually get the Bose hate, as someone who is heavily invested in audio from dj’ing in my younger years and now a huge home cinema fan i find the products generally very good for their intended purpose.
I did the same as Jasper in the audio cabling topic. Based on the info provided by tigerbalm:how do you feed audio in it? I mean how you input the sound into it?
can you shoot a picture?
Deal breaker - BOSE is it unless buyer springs for Burmester.That is fine by me, but maybe some people would find that a deal breaker.
So sound wise it is uncoloured and fine IMO, I will add to this thread when I get more experience with a wider range of source material.
which underseat subwoofer did you go with?I also have the base audio system. Did not want the Bose because it reduces the size of the trunk. (the part under the floor).

Yeah, hate is a bit of a strong word. But I have had a couple of Harmon Kardon products just break the same week the warranty expired and it's also happened to friends.Exactly. Hate is a bit strong for me, but I avoid Bose at home. I find the delivery to be a bit bright and clinical. Personal taste though.
That looks like a fun build, though that acoustic foam looks like it will only attenuate the highs somewhat but not clear from the photos. But you probably treated the sidewalls and back wall if you went to all that trouble. I can post my studio build somewhere if you are interested but it feels like we are going quite off topic already!Bose actually make excellent lifestyle products and the sound is generally above average.

I have my cinema that I personally built for a point of reference.
Edit, are the Bose drivers in the Taycan actually different to the base system? It wouldn’t surprise me if all that was different was a more powerful amplifier and some dsp tweaks.
