No bother at all, few questions though:
What kind of music you listening to?
SQL or DB setup?
Speaker sizes in W140 (since I'm not very familiar with the setup of this S Class)
Head unit needed or not?
What is you max budget on everything for this car?

Thanks much.
1) Wife drives daily. Mostly R&B and Jazz, When I'm in east coast, hard bottom, old school hip hop and, believe it or not, lotta AM talk radio. (Hey, I can't hear that boom bap all day long. I got financial talk to listen to:)
2) I'm a stereo ILLITERATE[:I][:0)][V] Doh! I can guess at DB, but it'll only make me look dumber. Ha!
3) Everything I know about this system I learned from fellow members on the W140 forum. I'll post THEIR knowledge.

a) There are eleven speakers, two each on the rear shelf, one in each rear door, two each in the front doors, and one behind the rear view mirror. There are two more on the dash that were installed when the car had the optional factory cell phone. They are NOT hooked up to the audio system. I was told the rear shelf speakers wer low impedance and wired in parrallel, I have no idea what the front doors are, and the one begind the mirror is supposed to be a tweeter. This whole mess is controlled and powered by a seven channel "Bose amp" over the drivers rear wheel. The radio is a two piece affair with the front being the "control head" the "tuner" is in the trunk in the same general area as the amp. If you contact "BECKER" they will provide$ the code to unlock.
b)floridabenzboi posted; there are (4) 6.5 woofers on the rear shelf.....(1) 3.5 mid/high in each rear door.......(2) 5.25 low/mid in each front door...(2) 3.5 in each front door and (1) CENTER channel speaker behind the rearview mirror. Total of 11 speakers. the bose amp is rated at 280 RMS which means CONTINUOUS. Note that CONTINUOUS is very different from PEAK. The sound is very clean and real with a cd on the 92 and 93s.
4)Head unit not needed, (though replacement would be nice). Previous owner put in a cheesy lookin' Pioneer 50 watt x 4 detachable face. MOSFET (whatever that means[:I]) (Also, note from the above that previous owner also ripped out all rear deck speakers and apperantly had a box in the trunk. Took it all with him, so when I got it, it came with NO SPEAKERS in the rear deck.)
5) Max budeget IS the $650 high-end, and like I said, I don't plan on taking it to that extreme. However, if I took it to them tomorrow and said, "here, do it" with all parameters previously discussed, thats what it would be.
Hope this helps.
