Re: what to do - RS headache... frustating!!
adam s,
the reason the RS does not have back speakers or the sound package is simply weight savings. I am sure you can add some somehow. Best to replace all speakers then. Actually in my standard GT3 I used to listen to classical music as it somehow travels best. As you now know the car can be driven quite sensible and quietly. But when I took it on the autobahn at full tilt or the Ring or Spa I found it best to turn of the radio as you would not hear it anyway once revs start...
As increasingly on this website there are to many people that dont have a clue, dont own the relevant cars and like to make nonsense statements. From radio guy to another enjoy the car however you choose to drive it.

Hell, I'd want a cup holder too so I could sip on a giant ice-water on the way home from the track... HERESY!!
The RS has a cup holder thanks to the American way of life...

Yes, shame on us for enjoying refreshing beverages in our cars... The next thing you know, we'll want a trunk to put our gluttonous material objects in, and a glove box to hold to hold a couple pens and maybe (gasp) a pad of paper!
Ahhh, I remember as a boy when my dear Opa Urs used to set me on his knee and tell me about the good old days in the old country, when men were men and beverages were consumed in appropriate government-designated beverage-consumption-stations... "HA" he used to bellow, "you young whipperschnappers today wouldn't know where to consume your beverages if your life depended on it.... Running around like crazed animals, drinking water while inside a car, setting your cup into a built-in holster... Why, this world's going to hell in a handbasket...
Ahhhh... I feel better now, I get too much sarcasm pent-up... Must.... RELEASE........

Worst stereo ever? Does it say "Kracko" on it?
Don't worry, the Fatherland is also succumbing to the evils of our American culture. Back in the late 90's, when I went back to visit after having lived there most of the 80's I saw the most amazing thing in a small town near Heidelberg... a Mc Donalds with a, can it be?, a drive-thru! What self respecting German would want to eat a double-quarter-pounder-with-cheese while cruising down the A4 ?

You better don't want to know... Baffling to me are the numbers of paper bags getting kicked out of the cars, someone should install a trashcan next to those popular cupholders.

some of you guys are stuck in the Stone Age.
Is that not why you guys drive a sports car based on the VW Beetle
Seriously, I'm only jealous.
Adam, congratulations, have many thrilling miles with your new baby. 
If Porsche can't help you, as others have suggested I'm sure there are plenty of reputable audio specialists that can sort you out just fine.
