W202 Non-Bose to add sub and amp - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

BenzOnline · #1 08-09-2005, 09:25 AM

Recently I helped a freind hook up a sub and amp in his 01 Audi A4 non-bose system. Looked fairly easy.....the rear deck had 2 6.5" speakers and one had a small amp attached to it as part of the stock system. We unplugged the wires to it and traced the remote turn-on which would be for the amp.

Looking under the back panel of a W202 99 C230K with no BOSE, it has a wiring loom going to one of the speakers under there. Would I do the same procedure to adding a 12inch sub and amp on this system?

you have a non bose system? then you need a hi-lo converter, and splice it off of one of the rear speakers.

Find an ingition controlled source for the amp remote turn on lead, and run thick power cable for the battery and thick ground cable.

And you should be all set.

Hey Alon,

Thanks for your reply. My biggest dilemma is finding the connection to the back speakers. Everything is covered up and I dont know what to take off.

Does anyone know if the grilles on the back shelf can pop off?

I don't think it should be too hard...

You should probably pick up the service cd for the car, it will help you with all kinds of things...

I havent replaced speakers in a 202 before so I couldn't tell ya...
