1995 Mercedes Benz C220 "Bangin On A Budget"


Recommended Posts

Posted

Since I am a college student, I have to do all my builds on a budget.

The car is a 1995 C220 with mint interior condition! (I only paid $2500 for it). I had to get a new one since my old one died (RIP Shaggin Wagon = http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/184637-97-taurus-wagon-slow-build-budget-also/)

I don't want to get a subwoofer with a high RMS due to the AMP only putting out 90A. I want to stay around the 500-1000 range.

For a the sub stage setup I was thinking...

Subwoofer:

Sundown e15d2 - $136 - http://www.amazon.com/E-15D4-Sundown-Audio-4-Ohm-Subwoofer/dp/B0077DS5DW/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1404753886

Wiring:

SHCA 500ft spool remote wire - $50 - http://skyhighcaraudio.net/details#cid=327050

ANL Fuse Holder - $8 - http://skyhighcaraudio.net/details#cid=327053

Fuse - $3-4

SHCA 2 Channel RCA - $12 - http://skyhighcaraudio.net/details#cid=418000

SHCA 4 Gauge Power 20ft - $32 - http://skyhighcaraudio.net/details#cid=292427

SHCA 4 Gauge Ground 20ft - $32 - http://skyhighcaraudio.net/details#cid=292427

Amplifier:

SoundStream TA1.600D - $167 - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_79513_Soundstream-TA1.600D.html

For the mid range and highs...

(Only doing my front doors for now since they recently blew).

Some cheapy JBL components:

JBL GTO608C - $85 - http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17714_JBL-GTO608C.html

Total: $527

I have the MDF, Bondo, TiteBond and all that fun stuff already from previous builds so I am not accounting for those costs.

IF YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR AN ITEM TELL ME! DONT BE SHY!

The more stuff I can get via Amazon the better for me. I have some gift cards there.

Message me with your contact information! I am also working on a small side project for us michigan folk.

Do you see any items that can be replaced with something better? Was the trunk large enough for a 15"? Sorry for the questions. I wouldn't mind hitting 120-130 with a set up.

do your rear seats fold down?

ive never been able to fit a good box for a 15. id stick to 2 10s or 2 12s at the most.

and what items are you wanting to be replaced?

I have not attempted to fold them down yet.

I just want to get a good setup within my budget area.As already stated, the more I can get from Amazon the better.

I have not figured out how to put the damn seats down. Is there a hidden lever?

I am thinking maybe just a good 12" or 2 nice 8" (but the 8" may be over budget).

If you have the room. I always remember seeing great things of single sa-12's in a 4th order. And that would be perfect for the power your running.
