Mine has the CDR23 also which is beyond poor. I have door speakers which kick out a fair amount of bass, but need to look at upgrading the dash speakers and head unit. will end up taking it somewhere to be done though, as the talk of fibre optic wiring scares beejeebies out of me, and I don’t know if it uses this or not!!

RickLS7 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 I'm afraid the CDR23 is a fibre optic unit, as you have the door subwoofers it will be connected to a fibre optic amp in the frunk (and perhaps a CD changer too). You can buy fibre optic adapters but you are better off ripping the whole lot out and starting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 They are apparently a pig to install (wiring, waterproofing) so look for high quality dash speakers plus perhaps behind the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 If you don't have door speakers you have the basic sound system. I'm not surprised you don't have a good sound. You can get the door cards with speaker pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
