Bedankt voor de duidelijk uitleg! Ik Heb een Boxster uit 2000 met het soundpakket en vindt dit een hele mooie optie. Heeft u voor mij een indicatie van de kosten (materiaal en arbeid) alvast bedankt voor uw reactie. Met vriendelijke groet. Jeroen van den Eshof
Hi again, I finally managed to get the 986.645.566.01.A10 unit. Is it possible to have access to the wiring schematic and the model of the amplifier that you talk about? Much appreciated. Cheers
Hi Corlleone, sorry for de the delay. I have connected the woofer box directly to my head unit, so no amplifier involved with the woofer schematics. Please share your email adress so I could send you the wiring mod schematics. Leon
Hello, could you please help me? 🙂 I have Boxster S 2003, sound system is with only 2 dash speakers, no amplifier. I bought rear bose subwoofer. Is it possible to connect it directly to CDR23 if I rewire the mid-speaker parallel or to serie with woofer speaker? (Left and right channel separately.) I tried to connect it in parallel and it seems to play well, but I'm afraid I won't destroy CDR23. Thank you for your answer 🙂
I think it would connect okay to the rear channels of the CDR23 headunit, but you should definitely rewire the sub to minimize risk of overload and also improve sound quality. It would be the procedure from this video: wire the mid-range speaker and the woofer in series (not parallel) for left and right seperately. You end up with +/- wires for each side and connect those to the rear L/R channel of your headunit. If you really want to improve sound quality and keep in-period appearances, get a headunit like the Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 DAB >> th-cam.com/video/56jhANC5L9M/w-d-xo.html
@@ljbdewit Thank you very much for your answer. I tried to get more information. It's definitely need to connect the speakers in series, as you show in the video. I think it will be necessary to connect frequency switches and capacitors. The headunit Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 DAB looks great, but I want to keep the original look of Porsche. I'll see, maybe in the end I'll have to buy an amplifier anyway. :-D
Hi Eddie, As mentioned in the video, I have rewired the subwoofer and connected the woofer box directly to my head unit rear speaker channels, so no amplifier involved with the woofer schematics. Please share your email adress so I could send you the modified wiring schematics. Leon
Turn the box upside down and unscrew about 25 screws to open it. You should be able to lift the bottom plate with all wiring and speakers out of the box.
@@ljbdewitthank you for your kind reply i did do that. I removed the torx screws but still firm therefore I think maybe some non permanent glue. I shall give it another go
Hi there, congrats on your channel. Can you please confirm if this bose subwoofer is the Part# 987-645-564-01-B10-OEM and that it fits perfectly on a 2000 bosxter S 986? Thank you
Hi Corlleone! The subwoofer in this video is part# 986.645.566.01.A01 and fitted in a 1997 Boxster. I would expect your part to be suited for a 987 Boxster from 2005 onwards. I am sorry I cannot answer your question with any certainty. Cheers, Leon
Greetings! I installed the same headunit like yours PCCM plus and my subwoofer is not working. Do you have any hints or advice? I have the same setup as you did. Thanks a lot!
Hi Adriana, If you have this Bose subwoofer as a factory option, it is wired via the factory amplifier. You might investigate the installation/wiring of the PCCM Plus itself to get the sound to work as intended by Porsche. Do you have the installation manual? Do you get sound from the PCCM Plus through the other speakers? Than you might consider rewiring the internals of the sub as mentioned in this video, and connect the modified subwoofer-unit directly to the rear speaker connection of the PCCM Plus unit.
@@ljbdewit Thank you for your kind reply! I installed the system at a Porsche center in Germany. However they did a shitty job as they forgot to connect the subwoofer. After removing the sub it was as easy as finding that the plug was out. Saved me a lot of worries and proved they did not check anything after installation 🙈🙉🙊

Hello
If you have the original amplifier and the original radio , how do you connect the bose subwoofer?
Thank you

Any dissemble instructions
