C300 Speaker Upgrade/Audio Enhancements?

Hey everyone!
I purchased my Mercedes C300 2023 in September and love the car, besides the audio system. I am coming from a Tesla Model 3, and the sound system in that car was incredible. I have the 810 Premium Sound System, but it sounds so horrible at louder levels. Is the best course of action to buy a DSP? Or would the actual speakers need to be changed in order to achieve higher fidelity sound? And how much would something like this cost?

Thanks!

Hi,

Contact allwoodsaudio, he'll tell you what the best options are and sell you a whole plug and play kit wherever you are in the world with support.

If you want to change just the amplifier/dsp, Audiotec Fischer offer the MatchUP8/10 DSP which you can buy with a harness for approximately $1000-1300 I believe. They also sell plug and play front components.
Gladen Mosconi have a kit which includes their own amp/dsp, front speakers and front subs for €1,350 + shipping I think.

The route I went is MatchUP8 Amp/DSP, Gladen front subs, Match front plug and play speakers and Audison APX4s coaxials with custom mount on the rear.

Called two shops in the area near me and they both quoted me a minimum of $4000-$5000...
How much did you pay for full installation/parts?

For MatchUP8 Amp/DSP, Match MBUX Harness, Gladen front subs, Match front plug and play speakers and Audison APX4s coaxials I paid £1300-1400 with a discount. Fitting and DSP tuning was like £400.
Recently I bought a JL XD600 for £200, Hertz Mille Pro D2.3 1200w 10" subwoofer for £250, custom stealth enclosure was just made today (image attached below) for £160, installation for that will be £200, will get it done next week and then do DSP tuning again.
That adds up to approx £2,610 or $3,350 for full build. I didn't get this done via allwoods but if you message him he'll probably know installers within the main US states since I know he does heavy volume in the US.

Are Focal Inside any good? My W206 C300 (US version) came with the basic 4 door speaker and "Front Bass"
