W203 Coupe Parts - Performance Pulley & Stealth Box w/Sub & Amp

Time to send some parts to a new owner. Feel free to email me at dave@mindmagma.com if you are interested in purchasing. All parts will ship from Florida (zip code 32222) and were removed from a 2002 C230 coupe w/Bose.

Thanks, Dave

1. Custom machined crank pulley to increase supercharger boost and inflate that "smiles per mile" ratio. Slightly larger than any other pulley offered on the market. GREATLY improves performance!! Belt included and no core charge, you keep your stock pulley! About 20K trouble-free miles it. No computer retune needed! Will fit 2000, 2001 & 2002 C230 Kompressor coupes, sedans and SLK's with the 2.3 liter engine.

$200 plus shipping


2. Wanna add some bass to your coupe, but don't want to lose any hatch space? Here's your answer. A custom made fiberglass enclosure with a Pioneer Premier 12" sub that fits in the stock Bose sub box space and Alpine MRV-T320 amp that fits inside your spare tire wheel. Dramatically improves the sound without loosing any space at all! Includes all Monster Cable wires and Pac high to low level converter for an easy 3 wire hook up. I can help with wire colors and placement if needed. These were listened to at "conservative volumes", but tested to reveal surprisingly high output and sound quality. I am positive you will be very pleasantly surprised! Surely this could also be installed in a non-Bose coupe also, but wire hookups will most likely vary and could require a longer RCA cable.

$450 plus shipping (shown installed for proof of stealth fitment)



Alpine MRV-T320 amp specs and features :
• Max Power (EIAJ) 140Wx2 (4ohm; Stereo) 400Wx1 (Bridged 4ohm

•14.4V RMS Continuous Power 4ohm; Stereo (0.08% THD) 80Wx2 2ohm; Stereo (0.3% THD) 110x2 Bridged 4ohm; (0.3% THD) 220x1

Bass Engine® features:
•variable 15-400 Hz high-pass/30-400 Hz low-pass crossover, 12 dB/octave
•variable Bass EQ (0-12 dB of boost at 50 Hz)
•S/N Ratio 100dBA

Hi Andy,

I honestly hadn't thought of selling the amp separate from the sub & enclosure as they have been matched to work with each other (i.e. gains, inputs and eq's set). I just figured it would be a nice "plug and play" setup for anyone looking to add bass to their coupe. Hit me up with a PM though as I may have something that might work for you.

Regards, Dave

for clarification purposes, is that a crank pulley or a supercharger pulley? they are NOT the same thing.

supercharger pulley is machine down and sits on s/c to get more boost
crank pulley sits on crank and is larger to generate more boost and to spin s/c pulley faster

That is the pulley that installs on the crank that spins all the accessories from the ribbed area closest to the block and spins the supercharger from the ribbed area closest to the radiator. It is essentially a 2 tiered pulley.

The accessory ribbed area has not been modified from the stock diameter.

The aluminum ring near the front of the pulley has been machined to accept a ribbed serpentine belt that spins the supercharger. The black part of the pulley shows the stock diameter. This pulley works with the stock supercharger pulley just as the ASP performance pulley does. I have altered my original post in hopes of a more correct description. Sorry for any confusion.

Nice "signature movie" BTW!

I'm pretty sure that the crank pulley will only fit 2.3 liter engines. Sorry.

I believe the 2.3 liter engines were in 2000, 2001 and 2002 coupes, sedans and SLK's.

Any pics of the sub uninstalled? Might be interested, but would like to see more pics of the assembly if possible, showing mounting pts., etc.

No problems with heat build-up in the amp? Did you run the amp in that location with all of the normal parts of the floor on top of it?

Tommy, I can't speak to how the Alpine amp will perform, but I have a Phonenix Gold Xenon in that space. Works fine for me.
