Upgrade Sound System in W164

Hi there

Just bought a ML280 07 model with Command System, built in BT Telephone mod and the standard 8 speaker setup. Not very happy about the quality of the sound. What would people recommend as to possible upgrade keeping the Command as the head unit to power the speakers. I do not mind adding Sub Base but want it hidden in the panel in the boot. I have tried to search the forum but have not found much.

Is it possible to upgrade the speakers on their own without adding sub base?? If so what can I put? I went to a Car Audio specialist and he said that the only thing I can put is a sub in the boot as the standard Door speaker are non standard size and nothing will fit in there unless and if the panels are modified.

Thanks
Raj

I'm not familiar with that model, but does it have an H/K system?

Nope... I bought it used and it had everything except for the HK Sound upgrade.

OK. You might want to also check in the W164 forum if you haven't done so. Late model MB's have varying internal sound systems and some of them are easier to upgrade than others...

Sorry I couldn't help more...I'm not familiar with that car at all.
