upgraded stereo for 2012 CLS 63?
Anyone have any info on how to improve/upgrade the stereo in the 2012 CLS 63? Although it's okay, I have not been impressed with the quality of the sound, especially for a car of this level/cost. And now MB is offering the B&O upgrade with the 2013 model, so it appears they've realized the need to offer a stereo upgrade. I wish they had offered it for the 2012 model and I would have ordered it then. Dangit.

For the B&O...I guess you are ready to give up the trunk space and have the spare and tool set sitting above that location in the trunk; hopefully you don't have much things to haul.

I've seen an install as far as some small diameter subs below the false floor in the trunk, next to the spare tire. Keeping everything accessible and everything looking stock. I wouldn't be willing to give up trunk space or my fold down seats when aftermarket is an option.

The subs piqued my interest the most in this install as I feel, that is the main area the W218 is lacking.

I'd probably look for some high "SQ" small dia./ space req subs to supplement the HK system eventually. It sounds good clarity up high and mid bass but it just needs more sub bass extension to me.
