Oh I see ! Well I'm sort of on a tight budget, being a college student and affording this car is rather ruff haha. So I'm focused around 1000-1200 for a system. That's why the type R's appealed to me. Not to expensive and tons of good reviews. I'm thinking going ported for mine though. My main concern was not being able to feel the bass since the trunk is sealed and the seats don't fold down!
I'll have to be a gangster and try out that song lol.

and now since i started working i bought 2 12" jbl p1224's with a 1300 watt amp LOL, and I'm getting a custom box made this weekend hopefully all goes well and i don't have a tough time wiring it up, will have pics on my build thread ASAP

would i be able to add the clean sweep system to the jbl amp ? and would i be able to do it later on, I've kind of spent this pay check and the next already ...

My shop will start installing may 1st but ill give you an idea of the setup.
I will be replacing all speakers with hybrid audio
We will use one 5 channel amp for speakers/sub
Sub will be JL 12 w6 v2
Now, I also have non folding rear seats which presents a problem
Numerous ppl said you can have a slamming setup but will only shake the **** out of the trunk and lose the majority of the sound due to the firewall seperating the cabin from trunk
So this is where it gets fun
I(m going to cut open the firewall creating a pass through where the armrest folds down which will allow the sound to transfer into the cabin uninterrupted
Now by doing this you could go with just about any box, but we have decided to build a custom bandpass box that will port directly through the open ski port, should be sick

EXACTLY what i was gonna tell my buddy to do, i was thinking of asking him to port the box right in the middle where the armrest opening WILL be

2012 C Class C250 CDI
Actual Process?
Hi, sorry to jump on the end of this post. I am also looking at installing a sub and amp in my C250 CDI 2012.
How is this process achieved. Forget the actual subs for now, but the wiring. I have the stock radio (Audio 20) and want to add sub & amp.
I don;t really want to run a cable for power from front to back, can I just use a capacitor from the secondary battery?
Also, which speaker cable do I cut in to and where is this located?
Many thanks
Jamie.
