Absolutely!

To fix audio noise.. if your power wires and your rca's are running next to each other thats the problem. When i was an audio installer we would run power and remote on one side of car and the rca's on opposite. Those noise filters were a hit or miss for a fix.

Awesome video Matt. Would have been awesome to see the PCCM Plus for 911 (996) installed. It’s an original Porsche unit made specifically to bring the 996 up to the modern era. Porsche is the only one doing that. Upgrading tech for older cars officially and it’s such a great thing to do. I wish other manufacturers would follow suit.

So good to see all the progress! I love this project! :) A few hints: the ground wire from the amp, always make sure the connection is solid and not on any painted surface. Use some sanding paper to clean and make a good ground connection. In terms of audio quality, new speakers do alot. If you want to do it even better, swap the head unit out. A headunit from one of the bigger companies, like Pioneer, Alpine, Sony etc. These chinese units generally sound terrible. Also, might not be a concern to everyone, but chinese android head units might contain malware (i guess you're connecting your phone to it with bluetooth or other). Not saying every chinese android headunit does, just that you cannot be sure.

Could always undo it and return the pioneers if I need.

Hey you got a weak ground, so the noise filters rarely work if at all. You need to supplement your ground from the battery to the body. You can also double up the grounds on the alternator and engine but that might be overkill depends on the car. Doesn’t hurt to give it a try though.

eBay or Amazon, they'll be linked in one of the Duramax videos.

If you like audio you would have been much happier with JL Audio, Alpine , Focal, Morel or Audiofrog. Just an FYI for your other Porsche as it deserves a much nicer Audio system. Also the dash and rear speaker housing were setup for component speakers. In other words a 5-1/4 or 6’ mid and 1-2” tweeter with a passive crossover. If those pioneers sound better than the kickers then the system wasn’t tuned right. I’m not a big Kicker fan but they do make quality equipment and their stuff can easily blow pioneer out of the water when it comes to sound quality. The speakers brands i recommended will be on another level if they are properly amplified and tumed. Your grounds need to be completely clean of all paint and that includes your ground from the battery to the chassis.
