I am completely speechless. The main woofer will presumably pulverise your brain to a soup-like consistency.
Have to raised the floor level of the trunk to get all that stuff in, or are you just making use of the spare wheel well?
In the back seats, I assume you don't use the CD changer any more because access to the rear compartments is removed.
Like the look of the audio gear though.....

mein gott!
wow! that picture made me decide to exercise the keyboard. How much power does that system pump out and can the car components handle that much bass? your mirrors must be vibrating right out of their mountings! you probably can't see anything from them with that monster in full action!
Wow, I'm still stunned!

Thanks
Thanks , everybody.
blueSL; The main woofer makes my whole body listen to the
music. The floor level was 2 inch raised and the spare wheel
well is used totally. When I use this seperate audio system , I
can not use MB cd changer. But I have another cd changer at
my own stereo system. The cd/amp set is also detachable.
London Lad; Yes , as you mentioned , water runs off
onto the carpet when the boot is opened after raining.
But the cd/amp case is against that problem.
GMW ; Sub woofer - RMS 400watt . Other ranges - RMS 300watt/channel . Of course the room mirror is vibrating ,
but I can see the back. My another car (S600)'s audio system
makes the boot cover also vibrating .
My next job : I should find a good RF transmitter which will
connect MB FM radio with my own one.

Nightsea - this seems like an incredible system. Do you have room for the spare wheel somewhere else in the car? I suppose if you leave it at home and have a tire blowout you have plenty to listen to while waiting for the rescue service - .
Regarding water running off onto the carpet when opening the boot I used to have this problem with my SLK. A solution was to open the boot slowly giving the water time to drain away through a small channel at the bottom of the window. Can you do this with the SL?
I dont take delivery of my SL55 until next week so cant try yet but this could be a big problem in the UK with so much rain right now.

Don't worry
SL Boy
You know SL55 has a flat tyre repare kit and I don't have
a spare. I believe the repare kit will work. (Did you order
a spare tyre? When I bought my car , it was an option.)
Regarding the water, I also open slowly to minimize the water
flow into the trunk. Another solution is to make a speed and
a sudden stop to blow away rain drops .
I experienced SL55 on last summer of heavy rains( we had a
serious flood) , and the water flow into the trunk can not be a serious problem . So don't worry.

The biggest problem I've found with rain is if you open the roof after it's stopped raining. The top roof panel tilts forwards while it's opening and deposits any water remaining on the roof neatly into the car and the more highly polished the roof panel is, the more the water beads and the more readily it runs off.
Solutiuon is to have a squeegee in the door pocket to run over the roof before you open.
