Hey everyone, i searched the forums but couldn't find much about this, so i thought i'd post up. I have a 12 inch sub and amp that I want to put in my 2002 C240 using the factory headunit. I am going to check with a few local shops to see how much they would charge to install it. Would I need any adapters or any additional hardware to get this thing hooked up? One shop that I spoke with today said that Mercedes cars are wired up with fiber optics and it was going to cost over $350 just to install it.
Feb 5, 2008 - Hey, My car has a bose sterio system installed stock and I love it. Mercedes-Benz Forum > Mercedes-Benz Sedan Forums > W203. I have two sets of subwoofers sitting in my garage and I'm undecided if I should install a.
I think I read somewhere that only the higher end audio packages (bose?) or newer w203s use fiber optic wires. What's the scoop? How much would you consider to be a fair price for the installation alone? Thanks Eric P.S. If I missed a thread about this, please pass the link on and delete this post. They tap it into the rear speakers and use a converter for the RCA to the amp+1 I have a 12' L7 with a hiphonics amp. 
They charged me 300 for the installation and it turned out fine.
The only problem was that my license plate screws started to come out from teh bass hitting soo hard. I thought that was a good thing (kinda telling me that my sub is doing its job) but then i had to replace the screw. I got this package as well that ran all the wires to the speakers but unfortunately i stopped there, for now! My stock speakers are really good but ive been looking forward to putting in some kicker speaks and tweets!
Yes you can do it. I reccomend a EQ if your getting speakers too.
Hey guys, I'm going to add a sub that I had from my previous car into my 06 c230 this weekend so of course MBWorld would be my first stop. I searched for a few days on this and found a lot of threads, but the portion for running the power to the battery is what is eluding me. I did see one install where the poster recommended removing the plate underneath the glove box, where I can find four holes that go through the side wall. My only problem is that I looked at the hole and there's now way 4 gauge wiring is fitting through there. I'm running a single 10' JL W3v3-4 and I really don't feel comfortable running 8 gauge wiring to that.
I also saw another post where the poster ran the power to the stock amp under the seat and tapped that for power, but that doesn't sound too safe either. My question is, to those who have added subs with 4 gauge wiring. What's the safest and easiest way to get the 4 gauge wiring through the firewall.

Did you build that tray yourself?yes of course. The sub fires up thru the existing sub mounting holes. The tray is hung via 4 bolts installed from the top. Heluva job to remove the rear deck to do this.
