Our cars don't allow many modifications when it comes to change the head unit. I would like to get better sound using my factory radio. I was wondering if anyone has or is using an Equalizer, Sound Processor or even Crossover to enhance the sound. If so, what brand and model and if pics are available would be better. Thanks in advance. Manny

Have you read Akadan and Vic Vipers DIY thread about changing out the stock speakers. This is the least expensive way of getting good sound from your Audio 20 head unit.

08 C-Class (sold)
I installed jbl ms-8, kappa speakers, and a jl jx 360 amp. It sounds really good and very loud with little distortion! I just ordered a new amp, focal speaker, and some sound damping materials. I am going to install them this weekend and I will post an update.
