95 e320...sold the rest
When my shop manager asks me to take something to another shop, or pick something up...what should I tell him..? NO?

I did NOT train at custom sounds, I trained at Tocco Audio and Video.

This is what I just finished up over the weekend. Sorry about the quality, they're from my phone

i maybe new here but have been involved in the car audio system for a few years now. i know and heard of all the brands jbondox mentioned and a few more. not trying to start a fight but don't want people to get misinformed. if you think that JL, kicker and RF make the best, i think you need to go out and explore more.

Are you starting stuff again with other St. Louis techs? You crack me up as always. Any luck with that Porsche parts we were looking for? Just give me a call when you have a moment. Talk to you in a bit.

Bose Wiring

Having always been disappointed with the Bose system in my W203 wagon, I have begun replacing it. Although the entire system is in the process of being changeded, thus far I have only installed the new speakers (Audax). The difference is amazing. Worth noting is that the rear door speakers in the Bose system are out of phase. If you are using the original wiring you must swap + and - at the head unit. Unrelated, space to mount an amplifier for front and rear channels is very limited in the wagon. A good, but overlooked location is behind the false floor in the passenger foot well. The module that is located there can be moved to the front side of the panel and if mounted at the top is not in danger of damage.
