Hi,

How has anyone mounted amplifiers in their w123?

Unlike my BMW, where the battery is in the rear and so powering is easy, it doesnt seem sensible to mount an amplifier on the forward wall of the trunk. Its a lot of wires run through the back of the car in the w123.

So that gives me the concept of underseat mounting. Makes it easy to pull speaker-level inputs and run a dedicated power line.

Id be thinking about something like the Alpine class D amplifiers like the MRX-F35.

I would not want to penetrate the floorpan, so mounting would need to be done some other way.

So how have folks mounted these?

Also does anyone have an underseat subwoofer in a w123?

I understand that this is a diesel forum, and there is an audio forum, but there is negligible W123 action over there... So Im hoping to get more views and experience from in here.

Thanks!
