I had a base 997 a few years back with just the basic radio. I wanted to add an amp and subs like you. I ended up buying the factory sub box off eBay and mounting it in the rear so it looked like a factory install. I put the amp in the front where the factory disc changer usually is. It was a clean install and the factory subs actually sounded pretty good.

Small tip for wiring stager where you put your connectors so that the harness doesn't have one big fat spot, keep crushing man gonna be a beauty when she's done (I also have an e36 that I'm swapping a v8 outta an old 540 into it lol)

[@corporalclegg914]

5:20 this rotary knob increases the Resting Intervals of windshield wiper operation (while wipers in 1st setting) when rotated counter-clockwise, the resting interval shortens as you rotate it clockwise. it works pretty well in my 996, but I got lucky & found a creampuff with only 62k & all receipts of service records that date back W’s POTUS era. cheers

Front speakers are 3 piece components; dashboard is mid + tweeter, doors are woofers…factory amp drives the doors @ 2-ohms (wired in series), dashboard uses a resistor on the tweeters instead of a crossover.

I experienced this with my M5. When I purchased it, I knew the radio didn't work, and all the OEM harness was completely jacked. After about 2 years of putting it off and using a B/T speaker in the car (super jenky like)....I said I have to fix this. I purchased the entire audio harness for the car used, spent the entire day, cutting the harness, soldering, heat shrinking, pinning new plugs as needed, bought all the OEM speakers, amps, navi units, etc, and finally got the radio to work! It was a great feeling with a ton of work. The first road trip I took in it, being able to finally isten to music from the car's sound system was..."music to my ears" lol. Keep up the great work!

[@craftingmat5425]

21:32 I went exactly the same way when I installed my backup cam on my 996.2 Carrera (4 or 5 years back - car already sold meanwhile). Funny you came up with the same idea. Removing all the panels and putting it all together again took me a few hours on a weekend. It was way much more work than I expected. 22:42 yes, keep it as it is... leave the original stuff as is... exactly how I did it, too (been there, done that) If I buy another C2 (which is a possibility right now, I am thinking/ waiting for the proper car... which may also be a Porsche again) I would like to do a center console delete as it can be seen in some of the GT3 of that era. TBH, if I would do a new headunit - I would go for the Porsche Solution (not sure what it is called, but there is one available exactly for 996 to update the radio/navi system). It has that OEM look I like... but if I did that, I couldnt do the center console delete (you need one slot for heater head unit). Yikes she said, thats what she said. Keep them coming, I like this content (and makes me want a 996 again, too).

5:13, it's for intermittent wiping when you push the right stalk down (atleast for my 996.1), twist it all the way to the right and it's about 6 seconds between each wipe and that's the fastest it will go. In my opinion it's way too long for it to be the fastest setting 😂

GT2 badge was the first redflag.

You're not wrong! But the PO may have just left it on there because technically it has a GT2 wing.

No I mean he swapped on a GT2 wing / trunk and didn’t bother to remove the badge afterwards.

Total teardown and recheck everything. Otherwise your gonna repeat dismantling and reassembly continuously. If they messed with wiring your into loads of fun. Find the mic, easy. Follow the wire.

[@davidbenji1]

Matt, it's not very interesting just watching you fix the wiring in fast motion without knowing what you are actually doing. It would be more interesting and helpful if you would explain your strategy for sorting out the wiring. I'm sure you are figuring it out on the fly but you could still explain how you are going about it.

I thought about doing a voice-over, maybe next time.
