just ordered new FOCAL polyglass components for the front and coax's for the rear with a JL 300/4 amp (75x4) and 12" w6 sub ..just afraid with the new door speakers i will get some rattling sounds

if everything is installed nice and tighty, there shouldn't be rattling sounds at all.

This rattles

JL ICE System for Vaders Teck C32
2 Rear XR635 interior speakers
2 Front XR525 interior speakers
2 10W6v2 Subwoofers
1 1000/1 watt amp
1 300/4 watt amp
1capaciter
1 Alpine XM head Unit
1 Alpine Xm transmitter

provide me with any pics/comments that would assist me with same. I'm planning something as well, but don't know which components yet....

TIA

No matter how you install the system, if your gonna run lots of power, it will rattle. My suggestion dynmatt the doors. In my old car, I had diamond audo Hex all throughout my car and subs. I dynomatted my doors and the trunk. This helps alot and sounds alot better. I actually conceals the sound into the car....

i ordered focal 165v2 for front and 165cv for the rear will that fit??? both 6.5" ......just asking since 2 car stereo shops said 6.5 and vader has 5.25 in the front..

6.5 will not fit front, Also disconect your abiance mic, or your stuff will drop out..Tell your installer its in the rear view mirror..

what do you mean drop out? i think i am having that problem right now..

6 1/2" will FIT front and rear. I have Utopia front and rear on my car.

whoaaaaa thats pretty serious mr. audio phile ..i wanted the K2P's but they said those wouldn't fit without custom work!

Well, it depends on your definition of "custom work". I can keep my factory grille, my door panel looks factory. Would you consider work done underneath the grille as "custom"???

they just said the guts of it are huge and it won'tfit stock ..but anyhow the polyglass focals are already on the way and im sure they will blow away the stock sound system

im sure you will like the polyglass...i have utopias (not in the C32) running off a brax 2400 and a 12W6v2 off a zapco c2k-3.0 . It sounds awesome...i just got to find some free time to install it into the AMG as it's going to take all weekend.

Are you going to use that JL amp to run ALL speakers incl. the sub???

yea, you should get the 500/1 to power the sub.

no the jl 300/4 75x4 is just for the door speakers and a separate amp for the sub

Mabey 6.5 do fit, but JL is my sponser and they sent me all my stuff with the correct sizes, They also paid for my install at an authorised dealer.
The Bose system in these cars sucks for aftermarket.
You gotta get rid of everything and the whole ambiance deal as well. If you have a good installer they will know, If they don't know you need to educate. Search the forums for direction

yeah they know about it, they do all the Houston Rockets players cars etc..how about the speakers in the rear deck those should be removed right?

or just disconect..
I tell you what, Those ballers don't use stock Bose headunits..

true, i know what ya mean ..i would have new HU also if i didn't get the nav. anyhow anything sounds better than stock..happen to have a jl amp 250x1 laying around?

Who needs NAV? I took that POS out..
edit, I do have NAV in the ML(For road trips), And its a way better unit than in the C Class..

yup the nav function has to be one of the worst out their but the rest is good

Take out the rear speakers (so that the bass from your sub can travel through those slots into yr cabin), dynomat the rear deck, you will have rattling from the rear deck and from the cover of the first aid kit storage box. Ask them to do stuff it/glue it (just do something about it).

yeah the 03 doesn't have the first aid their anymore
