I will receive in the upcoming weeks from the Lisbon Porsche dealer a 992 C4 (not the S as I feel I don’t really need the extra power) that is a great deal. It’s a service car from October with very few miles that they use for “dynamic drive tests” and I will take the opportunity to replace my 991.2 Carrera 4 with this new fantastic model.

The thing is that I enjoy listening to music in the car and this one comes with the basic Sound Plus system and not the Bose. Is there any way I can upgrade this by installing a class D amplifier and replacing the six standard speakers with better ones? Can this be done easily or is it really stupid to do? Manuel Gibert Prates Congratulations on the 992 Carrera 4, I’m pleased you got a great deal on it. They are a serious upgrade from the 991.2 in my opinion and I’m sure you will thoroughly enjoy it. With reference to the speaker system in the car, I would strongly advise leaving it as it is. The Sound Package Plus is still great quality and a reliable system. I am not sure if an amp upgrade is possible, as the standard amps are integrated into the car’s other systems and can even be immobiliser protected, causing potential coding issues if you make changes. I would recommend leaving the car as it is and trying it – I think you will be surprised as to how good it is, even without Bose.
