W124 Stereo Installs

I would like to see installation pictures of members cars. I have a 1994 E420 I am sourcing audio equipment for and would like to see install pics for some ideas if nobody minds. I am especially interested in the sub installs as I hear this is a tricky undertaking.

Thanks to all in advance for posted pictures,

The more the better,

Thanks,

Andy

Best bet is to just buy a big ass sub, an even bigger amp.
Next, hope to God you can overpower the deadly sound vacuum that rests between the rear seats and the trunk known as the gas tank.

I would post pics of my setup but it is always changing, and since last time I havent made it look pretty.

a single 12" JL Audio 12w3d4 in a small 13" cube box, and a 4 " hole cut in the first aid kit. you can definately here and feel the bass just fine with that setup.

In my W124 car, I had a 12" sub in an enclosure like Ashman described, but without the 4" cutout in the first aid lid.

It was powered by a very powerful Nakamichi amp (retailed at about $1,000). It put out enough bass to vibrate the whole car.

W124 Stereo

Ashman,

Would you be able to post some pictures of the 4" cut out from the top (inside of the car) and from below (inside the trunk)?

Thank you.

Its not pretty...

I had a different box int he car and that hole was originally running fromt he port in the box intot he car.

So it is off center and in a bad place.

Later plans for me are to cut out the bottom of the first aid box completely, and make it look nicer.
