Soundsystem W202

Does anyone know if there is a subwoofer included with the original Mercedes Soundsystem in the W202?

Thanks a lot for your answers!

I've got a '96 with a sub-woofer. It's in the trunk deck just like the rear mounted speakers in the trunk, should be on the left side.

I'll try to make this plane and simple.

Room for 4, if you have 3, you have a subwoofer.

3 speakers = yes subwoofer

2 speakers = no subwoofer

Hmm, my 1999 C43 with Bose has two subwoofers in the rear deck (only two holes). When these are disconnected, there is no bass.

I think in the new model there are just other speakers but in the same size...

I thought there ist a 10" or 12" speaker somewhere hidden...

Speaking on the comments by Scorchie, I guess technically you could consider all the speakers in the rear deck to be sub-woofers as you've got your mid-range, etc in other spots in the car.

Why you would get the 'sub-woofer' package and simply get just another speaker, I dunno. "More Bang for the Buck", or in this case Boom for the Buck... ?

I can get the MB P/N off the speaker if anybody is interested in rigging additional speakers into their rear deck.
