I like how clean everything looks. Everything looks well thought out.

I own this unit, it’s a perfect drop in replacement if you have Porsche 993 with the HiFi system.

[@CarFettle]

That's good to know, I'm considering it for a Porsche 996 :)

[@milesbachelor8747]

There’s a Status 14ch version here in the US. $2400!
I’m really interested even with the high price

[@rts100x5]

the "amplifier" is a joke ... much like the MiniDSP 8x12 Harmony .... very very low power ratings .... with todays high end speaker market , who is going to waste their money on that ??

[@RAW-CAt]

Much more people are runing systems on head unit power than on amplifiers😉

[@eugene9000pro]

How much watts is not a joke? 75? 100? You get another 3-6 db?

[@paulcabinatan2390]

This is a perfect package for a classic car where adding bigger amps or swapping head units is not feasible. The amp is perfect to fill the void where none would exist
