Standard 4 speakers vs Sound package Plus ?
Are there much different in sound between the standard 4 speakers package and the Plus package?
Everyone uses Ipod, mp3, so I am not sure about the CD changer, but the 9 speakers and amp worth it or not?

Don't get the CD changer if you plan to get the Dension iPod interface unit. I have it and it works well. I do suggest getting the Sound package. Anything would be better than the base sound package.

The only consideration for not getting the Bose is for keeping the extra space that is used up on the back shelf by the speaker box. Supposedly even the BOSE isn't that great (good enough for me); but it's good to get anyway for upgrading because all speaker ports and trim are there.
CD changer already has space in trunk allocated for it. However I've never used the CD changer that're in my cars; didn't get one in 997S.

Atomic, the prototype car trunk looks like nothing I've ever seen before. And in my car the DVD nav is located beneath one of the panels in the middle of the trunk. Could it have something to if you have a 997 with AWD or not?

Are you sure the other 2 are not in the front panel?
Do you know how much weight around 5 more speakers and extra amp?

Going back to the original question, the bottom line is that the standard stereo is absolutely 100% CRAP, you would be totally MAD NOT to specify an upgrade if you like listening to music.
I have a 997GT3 & couldn't specify Bose, so I had the soundpack+, it's just good enough to enjoy your music. Don't save few dollars & then regret it every time you turn the stereo on, get the best you can specify, also be careful with after-market upgrades I have seen plenty of battery drain, alarm & reliability issues caused by so called stereo "experts"!!!

You re right, actually i am worring about the extra weight, but if that's rubbish than just remove it or upgrade it. Otherwise it is useless...
Adding 5 speakers and 1 amp in the RS wouldn't add too much weight i guess?

We've debated sound systems ad nauseum before. Bottom line, if the Bose system stinks, then the standard system is stinky-er... Who wants stinky-er?? Hardly an option that you cheapskate on, as if going with the base system is some sort of admirable symbolic protest..
