Hi all,
I have an 05 C55 AMG estate, stutzen vagen, station wagon, whatever you want to call it which has the fibre optic stereo system.
Im not sure if it is HK or Bose but it does have some bass so must have a subwoofer somewhere.
Any hints as to where? As it doesnt have the back deck like the sedan for the sub im thinking it may be under the boot floor towards the front of the car but im not too sure.

Im looking at doing a stereo replacement and want as much factory functionality as possible, has anyone used one of these units from OEM audio in Chch New Zealand?

They look like alot of the cheaper chinese stuff on Ali express.
How much wiring will i need to rerun? Aerial? speaker cables to bypass amp?

Thanks

The subwoofer is located on the right side in the boot. There is a pushbutton on top by the last rear window for opening. Harman Kardon.
