Two Kicker old school ZR460 amps, with a Solobarc sub(not pictured). System was built for sound quality.

nice im sure it will sound good especially since the car is now 10 years old and the new cars have amazing systems, don't forge to change the Navi/Radio unit, that's the biggest cause for a crappy sound system in our cars

Im running a Kenwood head unit with this system. I will speak to the Focal speakers being some of the best speakers on the market. Although they are pricey, they are worth every dime spent on them.

Email Jerry and ask him if he still has the AMG shifter decal. I bought two of the from him as my wife drives a CLS55 as well. The colored one you see is in my 55 and my wife has a all black one in her 55. I believe I paid $25USD per decal. They are the perfect size for our shifter tops. The decal is aluminum with super sticky double sided tape. Here's Jerry's info:
