Yeah, I already did a full test install with the current Audsion 8.9 Bit in my 2015 C300 (no DSP tuning). Do you have a specific question?

With the new FORZA F8.9 AMP you no longer have to bridge channels (for front subs).

Sweet Baby Jeebus!

It might fit under the W205 spare tire panel cover. (GLC shown in video)

With this amp you could add two more speakers (in custom enclosures) in the bottom of the front door storage space.

Burmester upgrade

Hi Benzdude,
I'm justarting to study the upgrade of my Burmester audio system. I wanted to know if you have followed the setup of Mike and if you have picture of wiring of the Audison Amp AP F8.9 and if you could use all the speakers (11.2) with your amp ? Also do you use the JL audio 82 Fix box ? is it mandatory ? And also I want to know if the OEM amp is completely disconnected or it's stay plugged ?
You can probably notice that I'm a beginner regarding my questions.
For speaker I'm planing to replace them by Focal inside, did you hear about them or test them ?
Many thanks

W205 with Burmester is 13 speakers and 9 channels. Audison 8.9 bit only has 8 channels and a 4v sub pre out. You can leave the rear deck speakers on factory amp like mike did and add a trunk sub. JL audio 82 Fix is needed with the factory amp. I got a Helix V twelve DSP now with all channels connected and NAV-tv MOST box to delete the factory AMP.

Thanks for your reply. I want to minimize the number of the components to cost less. I've seen your other post about the Nav-tv + Helix V 12 dsp, so for this configuration you don't use a jl 82 fix. Is the Zen M do the job of the Jl 82 ? From where do you get your parts ? As I'm leaving in Canada, the cost of the Helix V 12 DSP for W205 from ebay is 1690 $ US + 134 $ + 216 $ import charge and for the Zen M it's 960 $ (not know the shipping + import charge), ebay link for Helix :
https://www.ebay.com/itm/23366335943...3ABFBMuo6p7qZg

I'm checking also for the Match up 10DSP, do you know this model ? I'm waiting for a quote.
