I just finished a SQ install in my 2015 ML350. It sounds absolutely amazing. Looks great too!
Audiofrog GB10 and GB25 installed into custom Sail Panel pods.
Audiofrog GB60 installed into doors
Audiofrog GB12D2 installed into custom box under a false floor
Another view of the Sail Pods
....And another
Zapco Z150.6 LX powering the front stage
Audison Voce Uno powering the Sub
Another view of the false floor with subwoofer box
Helix DSP.2 to correct the speaker response/time align
Mobridge DA1 to intercept factory optical before HK7.1 amp .. fed to Helix DSP
False floor to cover electronics in the wheel well (I'll be redoing the carpet with OEM carpet).
Sound deadening and Closed Cell Foam applied to doors and under the custom sub box.
As for how it sounds .. All bass/midbass impact is up on the windshield/dash .. far left to far right and everything in between is coherently placed on the soundstage .. instruments/vocalists have air/space around them. It can feel live .. like a brass instrument ringing your chest or a kick drum punch in the body... with all perceived sound originating from the soundstage on the dash. It's like driving in a studio.
Does anybody have a good source for buying OEM velour carpet?

Congrats, sounds like (pun intended) you have a sweet ride there.

Nice install, I might tackle this in the future. I find the HK system to barely have any bass?

With HK .. the bass is there, but you need to boost EQ +5db to bring it out. I never boost EQ but the HK gets punchy when boosted. Low lows are non-existant though.Originally Posted by GQsmooth

I wonder if OP Elliot Saleman is still around? Very impressive setup with no change to the head unit. Elliot's photo-posting skills were no match for his speaker-installation skills, lol: what looked like 9 photo links were actually 6 with some dupes....

Thanks, but I was talking about the mounting pods (custom made), not the speakers themselves. I have a 3-way speakers set but I need something like your pods to install the midds and tweeters and I can't find anything as nice as yours man.
