Hello all,

I recently picked up a 2002 C32 AMG, absolutely loving the car so far... except for the fact that the secondary air pump died the third day I had it.
I've had a range of 190e's (two of them M104 swapped), a 1994 S420, and now also have a 1993 190e Sportline Limited Edition with a 3.2 M104, getrag 16v trans, 300te ASD rear diferential, etc.

I've done a good amount of searching, and can't seem to find an exact answer.
I have the factory COMAND, factory speakers, and a factory/aftermarket (not sure) subwoofer that isn't connected but is hanging from the drivers side of the rear deck.
I have a 10" JL W6v2 and a JL 500/1 amp.

MY QUESTION IS:
If I want to retain the factory COMAND head unit for now, am I able to run a Line-out converter from one of the rear door speakers, hook it up to my 500/1 amp, and wire my subwoofer that way?
If so/not, do you recommend any other ways?
Also, will I have issues if I once again choose to retain the factory COMAND but replace the speakers?

I'm looking forward to my stay here and hope to be a useful part of the W203 community.
All help and insight is appreciated.

Yes, tap off the speakers and run a hi to low converter. All the rest should be straight forward. It has nothing to do with command.

Great to hear! Thanks a lot. Looks like tomorrow will be a fun filled day. Are both front and rear door speakers 6.5"?

EDIT: Figured the sizes out. I hope the JL speakers/tweeters/crossovers I have laying around work our. I'll take pictures and update you guys once I dig into this tomorrow.

the front speakers are 6.5" and i believe the rears are 5.25" if i'm not mistaken. bleh i hate JL audio speakers personally, but if you already have them the component set should work well in the front. not a hard car to work on audio wise, enjoy!
