BOSE subwoofer in sedans
I did the STFF and could only find pics of Coupe and Wagon subs. Both of which are smaller than MB says.
Anybody here have pics of the sedan sub. MB says 9" but I doubt it from the bass output.
It seems to me that 9" is the size of the non-BOSE sub. This also appears to have more bass than the BOSE but not the definition or clarity.
Thanx

You know what, that sub is like 9 inches. I just had it removed this monday when I installed a pair of subs, amp and cap. The 9 incher is paper thin though. Once you see it you'll understand why it doesn't hit hard.

Was it in a custom enclosure like all the others or was it a *free air type*?

To tell you the truth when I got to the audio shop they already had the sub removed, but I'm almost certain it was enclosed. I have the sub still lying around in my trunk. I will try and post a pic(which I always have a difficult time doing) as soon as I can, but honestly someone else will probably beat me as I don't think I will be able to put it up untill maybe tommorow...as it is V-day and unfortunately(

i'm pretty sure it's a free air sub. i think it sounds pretty decent for a 9 inch with limited power. it's a stock benz i don't think you're gonna get huge bass. just do what i did and add a 12inch sub. really easy and not too expensive depending on the brand you choose.

My fricken Saturn had better bass- with no subwoofer- and that was a BOSE setup as well. I love the clarity and sound quality of the MB/Bose setup, but damn, is a little extra bass on the low end too much to ask for?

if anyone has ever heard the CL500 stock system it's by far worst than the C320 bose set-up. high-end japanese cars seem to do a lot better with the entertainment stuff.
