Changing Speaker setup Keeping Command?
My setup is just not loud enough for me.... is there anyway to replace all the speakers and amps... use my own... and just keep command for a head unit?

I've been doing some similar searching. Posted a thread on the other forum but got no love.

http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w211...-upgrades.html

I have heard the speakers and tweeters are all odd shape. I was curious to know what the stock 10" sub is in the rear deck. I would like to get a similar one that uses the right amount of cubic feet in the trunk for a baffle enclosure. Good luck.

thanks... yeah I joined that forum too and it seems like hit or miss on certain topics depending which question you ask on either forum...

as for your question on the rear sub... I believe its something called a "free air sub" meaning an enclosure isn't necessary... google free air sub... for more info on it...

Did you want to lose all of your hearing before you are 40 ? As you go deaf you will need louder speakers.

Just looked after you mentioned (http://www.reusaudio.com/). Not much info on the site other than looks like high end custom work. Had any experience with them?

Can’t go wrong with Reus based on some of these reviews. Wished I had money for the group buy.

Yah, just saw that group buy thread a few months back. Looked like a killer deal 3k for the install. I like keeping everything looking clean.
