HaMSaMMiCH Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 IIRC that Mercedes has plenty of room for a HUGE batt under the hood. Also they have 3-way speakers in the front (i can't remember exact sizes) so that may be a bit of fun to figure out if you don't want to invest in a 3 way set to replace it, as well as bypassing the factory amplifier.
