Today's update:

No car back today. I'm missing it so much.

Last week Mercedes had it finishing off getting rid of all it's annoying rattles (3rd time lucky) and fitted the last of the Mode Carbon pieces.

This is week the subwoofer install, today more boxing, tech sussed out the amp wiring and the sub lighting, tomorrow fibreglassing.

Hopefully I'll find out tomorrow when it'll be finished.

Crazy amount of work going into that! Looks like the finished job is going to be excellent.

Enclosures sealed and fibre glassed.

Getting close to finishing now.

Really missing driving the AMG but it will be worth the wait to have some decent base and custom install.

What a job this is RDO247! I have no intention of doing this but it is fascinating and I can't wait to see the end result! Dread to think how much they must be charging

A couple of pics from today.

My Tech didn't like how the underside of the parcel shelf looks so he's boxed it in.

I can't wait either.

Next decision is wether I upgrade the front stage speaker, amp and re-tune.

I'll see how she sounds with the extra base from the twins.

Thats an insane amount of work. $1500 would be the deal of a lifetime. I say $3000
