GLE450

Hello, any input would be greatly appreciated.


I just purchased a 16' GLE450 Coupe. I got the HK L7 and disconnected the factory woofer and installed an LC2i with an Alpine amp to 1 12" Sub. I have the engine (Active Sound or whatever they call it) coming through the subwoofer multiplied by 500 Watts now. I never heard it through the factory Sub. I did hook the factory sub back up and it does the same thing. So,

Is there a way to shut off this feature?

Do they feed this sound through all speakers or just the sub? Its very hard to tell with car running and ear up to door panel. (The next closest speakers to grab would be the rear side deck or rear doors.)

Does anyone have the wire colors and locations for the speaker wires for this car?

This is so disappointing...

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.

Here is a shot of my setup:

Mercedes main dealerships will be able to deactivate it through their computer systems. Ask your supplying dealer if they can do this. Maybe also try to put the car in comfort mode, it should make the sound come out slightly less audible. I think that the sound is fed through the rear speakers but don't take my word for it.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately i have been to the dealer and after 2.5 hrs they came up with nothing. Yes the sound does mute a bit in comfort mode but its still there. Sport+ Mode is unbearable. I ended up installing the RUX knob for my amp and just have to turn the subwoofer down when it distracts me. Overall the system sounds amazing and i will just have to live with it until hopefully a solution becomes available.
