Woofers in a s550?
I am thinking about puting woofers in the trunk of my s550 but one of my friends said it wouldn't sound good because there is a metal plate in the back seat. Is this true?
Had anyone tried puting woofers in your s550? How does it sound?

One thing you may want to consider is the fact that there are many computers and electronics attached to the back seat that may be damaged due to the vibrations. I don't know how much they could take.

Where did you figure this? The W221 isn't the same as a W220, W221 has a fuel tank more like on a W211. I could not find a good photo for the moment.
If the car had a ski-bag or a fridge, you would actually have an opening (with two doors) from the cabin to the trunk at the middle of the rear seat backrest (behind the armrest).

I went to Germany and watched them build a W221 and I was shocked at how many computer boards and components are attached to the back of the rear seat. Someone , I can't remember who, had photos posted of some of the internal guts of our cars. Computers are all over the place. I thought it was AsianML that posted this....I may be totally wrong.

It wasn't me. I know who you're talking about though that posted them. I believe it was the member that posted various pictures of the designo interiors as well. If you search for designo interior pictures you might come across that member and do a thread search under his profile.
Yep, you're right. I do remember it was associated with the designo interior thread. Sorry about that.

I've seen many many many S-Class vehicles with a multitude of different subwoofer placements/installations and options. It's just up to you to find the place that makes you COMFORTABLE with taking apart your car and putting it back together.
Some installers do a fantastic job of wiring/labeling/installing the components and hiding them and some botch the trunk up. It can be ultra-clean (meaning you won't even see the woofers or notice that much of the trunk was touched) or elaborate (meaning lights/mirrors/floating amps/subs all over the place).
Pick the right place and you WILL NOT be let down. I wasn't.

I feel that the S550 HK system is really bad. Are there any shops in Bay Area / Northern California that can make the audio sound right ?
