Upgrade Base Audio System - Experiences

[PP7QNHV5]

I have finally my VIN and expecting delivery by Middle of February. Unfortunately I am one of the unlucky ones ordering a RWD, where Bose Sound was canceled. I have no researched all the Threads here regarding Upgrading the Sound System and found lots of ideas and solutions like Caliber BC108US, Audiotec-Fischer, Rockford etc.

Maybe some Owners can post their Experiences in Upgrading their Soundsystem here with Parts and Costs? I have already asked some Experts in my area(Vienna, Austria) and I get many different prices ranges and ideas. It is quite a difficult task to find a trustworthy and experienced Audio Tuner here.

I am a music lover and count listening to music as my main leisure activity. I was pleasantly surprised by the standard system, it has low colouration, and even frequency response and good intelligibility and quite accurate on speech.

The stereo imaging isn’t that good in the normal car way, probably faux surround DSP would help here.


I listen to a lot of live concerts and have a good stereo at home but I decided it was good enough for my use in the car.

I‘ve done Mosconi Gladen high end sets in my mercs before, by professional award winning installers. They are not touching the Taycan, way to scared of the finicky electronics. Speakers only is no option you’ll need DSP to DE-EQ / RE-EQ and external amps. Weight is a thing too.
unless building a show car, I would NOT touch the Taycan.

I have found Original Bose Subwoofers and Speakers for the Taycan on some Online Shops. Anyone has experience with installing this?

You also need to BOSE FW in the headunit, otherwise filters will be skewed.

Oh ok, this must be done via PCM ?

I think so.

You'll also be needing an amplifier....and if going down the aftermarket amplifier route, while you are at it, i would have someone put together a tailored aftermarket subwoofer solution instead. It will undoubtedly sound much better.
