OK, I have a 99 c230 K sport that I have had some install done but am now taking it out and trying to decid what to do for a reinstall. My basic goal of the system is to get a competition quality system, but I want to be able to take my system back to stock if I ever need to. Before I had had two boston 12's with a ppi a600 running off rca's off the rear speakers as I wanted to keep the stock deck. Now I want to go for more of a major setup. I want to run a eclipse deck up front (it will either be the a cd or 7001 tv deck, not sure yet) and run a rather beefy bass setup in my trunk. My interior speakers sound great for some reason stock and go really loud, so I was planning to put some bass blockers on them and leave them alone for now (except if I get a aftermarket deck, do I need to replace the amp that runs them? I have been told by many that I have to since I will be using a aftermarket deck, if so should I just leave the old amp where it is to be reconnected if I ever have to take it back to stock). In the bass side, I am planning on taking out the spare tire, and building a fiberglass enclosure for 2 or 3 (not sure yet) boston pro 12.5's using a earthquake PH-D2 amp (which is really a beefy major wattage amp so I would also probably have to throw a yellow top optima battery in the back for the amp). In other words I want to do a pretty major bass setup in my trunk. The rear mat in the trunk will have to be modded but I should be able to fine another if I need it easily. Does this sound fesible at all and will I be able to get this to work and be able to return it back to stock if I need to. Also should I port it into my cabin somehow as I do not have the fold down seat option so will I need to port it, and what about dynamat as I am sure things are gonna shake! I would appreicate any feedback or ideas, people telling me not to do it, etc... This is just in the planning stages right now as I have the origanal bass setup and the eclipse deck already that I am planning to put in, but may upgrade to the bass mentioned if It sounds fessible.
thanks for any help
