Kicker Sub Installed in floor

I put an 8" Kicker solobaric in the front passenger footwell. I can tell you that this location hits harder than 2 ten's in the trunk. And it looks cooler. Large footwell area still leaves plenty of space left. I re-used the factory carpeting for a factory finished look.

Looks like crap. I thought I was looking at a 1984 Nissan Sentra. Don't do that to a Benz. If you're going to do custom install, make it look good.

hey dont sugar coat it, say it like it is!!!
If you ever saw a stock Mercedes E-class floor, you'd notice it looks exactly the same except now it has an 8 inch grill in it.

Exactly. The 1980's grill. The fact that the passenger side is probably about a foot shorter now. All hacky un-OEM un-Benz looking. What's next? A velcro cup holder for the dash?

ok, now you are just playa-hatin!
FYI Below the mat, there was thick carpeting with 2 inches of foam behind it. Then there was a huge metal plate which made up the floor and covered a large amount of space where my custom made fiberglass enclosure went. So the floor is only a 2 inches higher now. Considering the E-class is like a limosine regarding interior space compared to BMW 5 and Jaguar XJR, there is still plenty left!

as for the grill, what would make you happy? Lemme guess... A chrome momo with LED's on it from fast and the furious? lol Its a Mercedes, not a rice burner.
