Please help! I need better sound in the SL
hey guys,

I have done weeks of researching on here. I have also checked the audio section as well. All i have found are pictures and 'reusaudio'; and i live in Hong kong.

anyway,

I wanna run subs and amp in the trunk on my SL. I have found the BOSE amp under the fuse box.. my only question is which 2 lines should i slice ? I couldn't find a wiring diagram on here.. PLEASE HELP! this would help me A LOT !

i have all the parts taken out. and stuck at this ... my car looks like a mess right now!

I would pack up the pile and find a qualified audio shop. These cars have very complicated electrics, and you don't want to butcher it.

I suggest you contact the folks at mbenznl.nl (a vendor listed on this forum).
They are very knowledgeable about the electronics of these cars.
