when ever u let me know can u post some pictures and directions on how to install it..
you wouldn't have any sub control from the stock radio/command system right?
but i think the basslink comes with a remote that u can run under the carpet to the front of the car (I THINK)

i put two tens in the trunk of my 05c230 along with a 1k watt amp. i have the h/k upgrade and it really added a nice punch to the sound. only problem is, now i've got to find a way to boost the power to the rest of the system so it can keep up with the base comin from my subs.
I have an Elemental Designs 12" mounted in a box in the back of my C230. It has a JL amp mounted on the box. I know the Remote wire and Ground are mounted in the back. I could take a look and see where the RCA's and Power wire is going to for ya if you want..

i dont know about the other countries, but in Australia we have a 9" sub woofer STANDARD on the parcel shelf in all C Classes. this is not part of an audio upgrade or anything. In all sales brochures is says the C class has a 6 speaker setup but if you turn your radio on and go and listen to your parcel shelf you might be pleasently surprised. there is really 7 speakers. its hidden underneath the fake speaker covers on the right hand side only. it can also be seen in the trunk if u stick your head in their and look up.
an interesting observation on 2000-2002 model cars one of the speaker covers has a latch and the medical kit is hidden in their. on the later model cars its mounted in the side of the trunk instead.

in my 2002 C320, I have the woofer in the fake speaker cover and the other cover has the medical kit in it. It def has some basss and rumble to it, ppl ask me of I have an after market system because they can hear the rumble outside if I am listening to a R&B song on radio for example fabolous - breath just to check speaker rumble [

]How much effect does that speaker in the dash have? I mean, I know there's a grille there for a speaker, but I can never seem to hear much sound coming from it.
Also, does the stereo/command unit have a set of RCA "in's" anywhere, so someone could hook up an MP3 player or something to it?

I'm quite interested in knowing how to do this mod also. My H/K system is one of the weakest system I've heard. Whenever I turn up the volume with full bass, I hardly hear anything...yet the back begins to vibrate like crazy. It seems the speaker cover on top is too soft and begins to vibrate/rattle with high bass music. Any ideas of getting rid of this vibration? My old Bose system in my '95 Acura Legend is 10x better than this crappy H/K system.

It's actually really easy to add a sub, takes about 2 hours if you have all the parts, I have the 02 bose system, I don't know bout the new Hk system but should be quite simular.
No the stock HU does noth have aux inputs, but the command does have aux inputs though.
I can post pics of my completed products but I don't have any of my install.

Please post your pics and instructions on how you did it. I'm sure it can be done with the H/K system also. [
