I'm on Full Profile, BeSpoke HU on tC mode, Natural, +2 bass and +3 treble. If I feel like a rockstar I'll bump it to +4 bass =)

Random question but will the amplifier enclosure be a problem on the track? Don't want to rip it out of the wall from the swinging around.

If you installed it properly, it's bolted securely to the metal body structure in two places. It ain't going anywhere.

It's easy enough to take out at the track ... so why the worry. I take it out when I am at the track - takes less than 2 minutes to take it out or put in which is why I got it.

No problem on track so far

The drive to the track is over 2 hours for me. A ride I would not like to do in silence x_x.

Glad to hear it should be safe though.

Who said take it out before you are there?
I do it at the track. We have garages there for a reason. I mean the Porsche Club chapter I run with are all nice people so I never worry. Hell people lost tools and would send them to each other after the events.

I definitely have a lot less rattles than with my stock system, but it never occurred to me to use sound deadening to get rid of road noise. I'll keep that in mind for the near future.

I wouldn't have thought Robust would change any clarity in the highs and mids. I figured it would just add a little more punch to the sub while everything else stays crisp, but I can see how that could happen.

I'm gonna give Robust a shot and see if it's what I'm looking for. I'll keep the forum updated with my personal experiences with Full and Robust.

So, which did you prefer in the end?

I just ordered my 400CF system. I cant wait for it to arrive so I can experience real audio. I am also planning to put sound deadening material in the trunk area as well behind the speaker areas. I think I have watched the CF install video about a bazilion times to make sure I am fully prepared to do the install. For those that did your own install, any sticky points that you encountered or is it as easy as the install video portrays?

Anyone switched from the OEM+ system to a traditional aftermarket system, or from an aftermarket system to the OEM+ system? I'm debating between the two right now.

Not I.
