Louis,
I'm not debating that you can't have good sound in a 123.... It's just that making custom kicks, using universal door panels, building custom sub boxes is beyond the interest and skills of 99% of MB owers. There are MANY other cars, and even MB models that are easier to put bolt-in systems in than a 123. I have an extra set of map pockets for my 300D that will become enclosures for a set fo BA pro separates so I know where you are coming from. Regarding the remote. I run a Kenwood head, the remote is ergonomic and you quickly learn the buttons by feel. There is also no way to change the pre-sets or settings via the remote so its pretty fool-proof. RT
