The car was picked up on Thursday . Everything is done except for the rims/tires which should be on by tomorrow
I still haven't taken pictures of the finished product, but will do so soon. Here's what I have for now

Thanks... The sub n amp just added additional thump which was lacking with the stock kardon system. The trunk is well insulated so not much rattling. It was exactly what I wanted and its only a 12" Diamond D3 sub with a diamond 1000 watt amp.

Merry Christmas all.
I installed the Rims yesterday but I did not like them and reverted back to stock
I think I need to reverse the colors and go with what I was originally going to do powder coat the rim white and do the spokes black. I would love to get some suggestions please
One picture shows the vinyl wrap on the inside of the rim between one set on spokes. I was thinking of doing that

You only added a subwoofer and amp? Did you upgrade any of the other speakers? Someone posted some time ago they had an issue with system making a noise when turning on engine. Do you have any issues with your sound upgrade?

Definitely agree that current HK system is lacking in bass. IMHO, old HK system in my 2003 E320 sounded better.

The hk sounded good enough to me but bass was needed. One a sub and amp added and what a difference. No audio issues noticed on startup

Sorry to bother you again, but can I ask why you decided to go with a 12" subwoofer? One installer recommended a 10" sub and I saw the 12" enclosure was much bigger than for 10". Could you post pics of how your sub/amp was installed? TIA!

No problem
Thank you. Now trying to get the rims squared away
I had two 12s in my 300C so instead of purchasing I decided to move one. A single 10 wouldnt produce enough bass for my liking. Here's a pic of how I did the install

Thank you for providing pictures of your subwoofer installation! Wow - you had TWO 12" subs on your other car!?!? I noticed your subwoofer has attachment to to keep it in place. Installer who I got estimate from said enclosure and subwoofer was heavy enough that I didn't have to worry about it moving but would put velcro due to my concerns.
I was also wondering about placement so I can still use the split folding rear seats. Installer said enclosure is easily removable by just detaching wires.
