Subwoofer removal- how to?
I posted this over in the W211 board, but got no response. I have used the search feature, to no avail. Can anyone here help me out?
My subwoofer is blown and I am looking to replace it with a reasonably priced unit. When the car was in the shop for the dreaded "SBC failure-stop car now" (yeah right ) I asked for a price on a replacement. The response was a whopping $690!! Needless to say I still need that subwoofer fixed. Logic would dictate that these things are easily removed from the trunk, but apparently MB doesn't believe in logic. So, how does one remove the rear decklid in order to pull the subwoofer? Can I simply get a speaker with the same dimensions and do a quick and easy install or do I need to purchase the replacement from MB? This car has been nothing but trouble from the beginning, and I will probably get rid of it within the year so I don't want to put that much $ into it. Thanks for the help.
