Mercedes C230 Kompressor (2005)
Need help with finding an AMP

Hi,
I have a 2005 C230 Kompressor. It has the upgraded sound system already. I was looking to put in some sub woofers and needed an amp to supply the power.
I don't want anything big, just around 800 watts and preferably Kenwood or another good brand. Not sure if this helps but my speakers are 4 ohms. Looking to potentially power one 800 watt 12". Thanks for any help in advance.

I just did the same thing in my 2006 c-class. I found the subwoofer speaker leads and inserted a hi-level convertor that powers up when audio is supplied, installed a alpine mrp500 mono amp and a Pair of 8's in a custom enclosure. cost of everything including installation was less than $700. Absolutely great sound for the money. If I was going to change anmything about it I wuld buy the DD10 loaded enclosure. Great Bass for the money.
