Connection under the front hood is usable for boosting and charging of battery or disabling power cables.
Disconnect battery post from battery that's located in your trunk under floor board.
To make sure any hard faults will be reset

So, i tried to use a socket wrench to undo the nut that secures the subwoofer amp (red cable) and sparks came out lol.
What am I doing wrong here.

Disconnect the black side of the battery first. Then it will be safe to touch the red side.
If the black is connected and you loosen the red, if you hit any metal body parts you will short the battery and get sparks or an explosion.

Red cables are positive and black are negative.

It is not in your photo. It is past the top of your photo but maybe covered by the silver metal plate on top of the battery.
I never accessed my battery but there are two terminals on every car battery. The side in your photo is the positive (red) side.

So I think i may have found the culprit, This was fuse 414.
All the other fuses related to the audio/COMAND seemed to be fine. Getting replacement fuses tomorrow from the dealer.

That fuse has been blown big time! Normally, there's just a small break in the middle. This one, there's hardly anything left!

I needed the valves added and this controller box, not sure what fuse they tapped into that.
Also, not sure how to see what fuse the sub was tapped into?

I had this exhaust on my car installed (see step 12) http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/pdf/...63_exhaust.pdf

It happened after I pulled my exhaust system and there was a spark when two wires touched on the valve controller.

Great news guys!!!
I replaced the blown 414 fuse and all is well again! Speakers are working loud and clear.
I want to thank all of you guys in this thread for help.
Saved me from having to deal with MBZ trying to spend days diagnosing the issue.

after reading this, just in the future you should really learn up on things before you dive in. if you dont know to disconnect negative before you start working on the positive side of battery you really should do some reading on basic car maintenance. you can do more damage by shorting things out than if you read ahead on how to properly work on an electrical system.
just my .02 cents but i wouldn't start to learn how to work on cars on a c63s. or your new lambo that you are getting next summer. just saying. i guess who ever said it in the another thread is true. dont buy a used car from some young youtube blogger. lol

digitalnav, I'm glad you found the blown fuse but you are incredibly lucky you didn't cause serious damage to the multitude of electrical systems in this car.
