W205 coupe c300 speaker issue a20 audio system

I have recently bought a used c300 2016 coupe.

The car is great apart from the audio. Compared to my brother and dad's w205 sedan I appear to have zero bass compared to the seran.

My question is how many speakers should be in my a20 system coupe surely Mercedes Benz did not expect the 4 tiny mids speakers to produce enough bass. I think I have a dead sub speaker somewhere

Thanks in advance

If you have standard (i.e not Burmeister) you have 4 x 4" speakers in the 2 doors and 2 rears, and one about 6" woofer in one footwell.
So yes, it is rubbish.

Put some Focal components in the front (will require new door trims with the tweeter location (i.e trims from a Burmeister car) as you have the coupe so no tweeter locations !!!) and that will make mids/voice sound decent - fixing the bass problem is more difficult without adding speakers / subwoofer
