Actually, i'm kind of curious about this myself. I was thinking about adding a sub in my '05 c230 but i still want to keep the stock head unit. I'll search around and see if i can find anything. Anyone off-hand know the answer?

i think aftermarket will be better since it might be of better quality and more functionality but you can start with the stock setup
