I need a recommendation as to were to locate an amplifier in my 1992 300E.

I need to install it as the existing system has stopped functioning. I took an Alpine MRV-F300S amp and an Alpine CDA-7930 tuner with CD out of a Mercedes I sold some years ago and now is the time to put it back in service.

Wiring is no problem. I have identified everything I need. I'm going to tap into the correct wires on the 12 pole connectors for each amp that go to each of the speakers. That way I'll not have to run any speaker wire to the speakers. It's actually an easy installation since I be using RCA cables from the head unit to the amp.

So back to the amp for anyone who has done this were did you put your amp. Mine is 9 7/16" x 2 1/16" x 10 5/8"

There are plenty of places to put it. some put a piece of wood behind the rear trunk panel and bolt it there. others put it ont he sides of the trunk, and yet still others put it ont he underside of the trunk lid.

It depends on if you are going for looks or function.

If it was me, I would do something nice and custom to house the amp and hide the wiring, and depending on how i wanted the turnk laid out, I would build whatever I had to to put it int hat spot that suited it best.

If you just want to put the amp in and don;t care much about doing something crazy custom, then you could mount it on the underside of the rear deck.
