alias747's 2002 C230 Coupe C7 (Custom Stereo Install)
Hey guys!
I just joined the forums about a week ago when I was looking into buying a C230. Well I ended up calling her my own and I am certainly glad I did! It was a 1 owner car with every single maintenance record from when it rolled off the lot. This guy kept meticulous care of this car! Only 64k miles too which is pretty low for the year. Runs and drives like a top. Hopefully will do a few mods coming up, especially HIDs. Eventually some performance like pulley and tuning, but not right away.![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I got some requests from members for me to post some pics, so I thought I would share with everyone! I know, you have all seen a stock C230 coupe before, but I really want to highlight the custom stereo install! It includes:
McIntosh Head Unit
McIntosh 4 Channel Amp
AudioControl Equlizer
Boston Acouctics front speakers in custom kick panels
Sub in trunk when spare tire was (hidden, and not sure of brand off hand)
Sorry for the dirty pics... I need to vacuum her out!![Embarrassment](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/redface.gif)

You should change that mounting kit for the head unit man....get the Scosche single DIN one...that way youll have a little cubby hole at the bottom to store stuff in...and itll look more flush.

Now just imagine your Mcintosh unit occupying only the top half and a cubby hole at the bottom half. Thats what I mean by more flush...
But hey if youre happy with it as is...thats all matters! Awesome system though.

nicely done!
thats one clean looking trunk.
the speakers in the front look great... however, i'd probably be stepping all over it with my big feet.
keep up the good work!
