Not enough power to subwoofer w210
Recently updated my HU to a alpine and added a amp and sub with ported box along with original bose system. Everything is working well but my sub isn't as loud or the bass/bump is low. Turned up the sub volume on the HU and amp and it didn't make a difference. Anyone here had the same problem with installing a amp and sub on w210? Any solution or tips?

Yes the w210 came with stock Bose system including Amp and sub.. Since I went with an aftermarket apline headunit I also added an extra bazooka amp and 1 10" mtx sub with a ported box for additional bass straight from the alpine headunit but the mtx sub is not as loud and sounds like it's at minimal volume. I tried adjusting the sub volume from the HU and bazooka amp as well.

These car's produce ludicrous amounts of electrical power (150amp alternator + 95AH battery) which should be more than enough to power your amp/sub. How big is your power wire to the amp? Is the power coming straight from the battery? Does your amp have a remote turn on?
