but was disappointed to hear some say the W206 isn't good too, although I could find that thread of the complaints.
You definitely get what you pay for and $650 for the upgrade is very worth it imo. Not going to be as good as the system I’m putting in mine but for oem it’s great. The reason why people complain about the bass is due to the fact that the front woofers in the firewall just aren’t designed to play anything below 45hz. They’re better suited for mid-bass and play it very well. Anything below 45hz is what only a proper subwoofer can handle which gives you that nice deep bass. Id say the front woofers are a way better oem kick sub solution than having a tiny subwoofer in the trunk. The insulated back seats will just reduce the output unless you get a decently powerful sub.

Im adding a dsp/amp with focal k2 front speakers and mid-bass drivers to my current system. I added a sub which gave me a great increase in bass but I still lack mid-bass and the vocals sound really bad.

Going to be an expensive one but I’ll share my thoughts on it once my shop installs it.
