I'm inclined to think that the black trays would probably rattle around quite a bit with heavy bass. If keeping the back deck, I'd take out the black trays and replace with fine black mesh so there is little air resistance and greater projection.

Also if you haven't already you should jump the fader in the center console, it is a needless source of added resistance and possible source of noise/poor connectivity. If you feel really gung-ho, the old wires are also usually junk by now too, any 20+ year old car could use a good re-wire. w126 is pretty easy to do it on.

Don, how much wiring is involved with the basslink? I'd imagine you still need to run all the usual amp lines like 4/8g fused wire from battery, acc, ground, RCAs to HU.

Considering, it might not be much easier getting a single unit seeing as there are pre-made boxes readily available fairly cheap. IMHO the time it takes to mount a separate amp is worth saving a hundred or two bucks. Not trying to persuade you out of getting the Basslink, it has excellent reviews--but if money is your priority you can definitely do it for half the price and get a more fitting system.
