Recommended Audio System Installers
Does anyone have recommendations on local installers for a 87 Porsche 911? I know the sound of the engine is all you need, but the current stereo doesn’t match and the sound is pathetic. Looking for reputable installers that have experience with the older cars.

The search button is usually pretty helpful as the subject has come up many times.

A bit far for you, but my family owned DSI electronics in Laurel, MD. Built many systems for PCA'ers over the years. Though we don't have the store any longer, my brother continues to do installs out of his house in Columbia, MD for friends and family.
Let me know if you'd like to connect. I'd recommend at minimum a new head unit with bluetooth, small (true 50wx2) two channel amp to run new door speakers and replace rear speakers (powered by head unit). This set up will be a great improvement over stock. Biggest caution would be properly removing the door panels. We've seen many broken ones due to improper removal. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply Vu! When I did my search I noticed threads back in late 2000's.
Currently the car has a new head unit Blaupunkt, new door and rear speakers, but no amp. I really like the Porsche PCCM head unit (I know the screen is worthless, over priced, but it looks stock and great" Previous owner had all the wiring redone in the car, including the fuses from ceramic to blade. I want to make sure I find installers that know what they're doing. I've debated doing it myself, but I also don't want to make a mess. I'd definitely be interested in talking to your brother on options, but something closer would be a little easier if I left it overnight, unless it could be completed in a day. Again, thanks for your advice.

Dan at Kartunes in Sterling is a good guy. He's done the head unit, amp and sub in my 930. He has also done couple of entertainment systems in our family SUVs. He is very neat and professional. He did a custom Lambo job for Bautista and a few Redskins' autos.
