Maybe this helps?
Thought this might help some people who are considering new speakers or changing the gauge of their wire or w/e! I had a difficult time finding it so I thought I would save time for others. This is also the amp in my 1999 Mercedes E300 TurboDiesel

I don't understand how that helps me locate the Bose wires on the back of the stock radio. That looks like it is at the amp itself. I don't even know where my amp is. I want to hook the Bose to my RCA outputs put don't know which wires to hook the RCA's to.

I figured everything out. I keep reading to splice RCA's from the the new head unit's outputs because they are 4v but I just hooked up the VW harness and it sounds way better than the becker. It seems to be working perfectly with no volume issues as I have read other people are having. Cranks very loud with no distortion. My head unit is the Alpine CDA-9885. I highly recommend.

Hey thanks god I found someone with this headset; I want to get one myself too; is it better that the factory stereo in terms of audio quality, bass effects and deep, surround effects. I have the SPS-17C2 Alpine speakers 2 of them in the front doors and another two in the rear deck...
What about the installation of this Audio does it require any customization or is it just a matter of just plug and play (remove the old factory cassate stereo with this one)?
What about the radio antenna (as I don't know where it is located in my car the stereo guy technician told me its integrated in the glass is it!!) he claims that I have to use another antenna for the radio; is that true or will it be working perfectly on the car factory antenna?
