Got a Dream Car of Mine: Mercedes Benz

Recommended Posts

1999 mercedes benz kompressor c230

I plans are to stay full IA apart from components/coaxials via CDT.

But I don't consider this a car really "usable" for spl so i'm at a loss as to what I should go for now, original plans were 6 10" 187 in a s10 extended cab on a new 20.1 but... didn't go that route and this is what I ended up with for 3000 dollars. Hey, it's a benz :P

I still would like to do the 20.1 down the road but i'm at a total loss as to what subs to try now as room/trunk would be an issue, never had a trunk car so i'm unsure how those setups work exactly. Anyone have any suggestions as to what size/sub to try ( sticking with IA ) to give me the bass i'd like but without so much SPL damage to the car from flex/vibrations as i'd like for it to stay in decent shape while I own it. Deadener will be fully covering most all the inside of the car in multiple layers if this affects it at all ( multiple layers ).

Just dunno what to do now, sq setup? :uhoh:

pic or two of the ride as I feel like a kid getting an "expensive" car for around these parts at least:

and yes it has no hood ornament :( But I am pretty sure I found one on ebay for it. We'll see lol.

I cannot remember, does it have a ski pass through?

Only $3000 ? It looks like a great deal.

The trunk is big enough for a 15" or 2 12"s, with room for sub, amp and batts.

I'm sure that car has steel/metal lined seats in the back, so if you don't have a ski port you'll have to fold down the seats like I do. It's quite the pain in the ass to say the least lol. I'd say do whatever you can fit. I'm sure 2 LI's or DR's would be awesome.
