Would it not be best to line convert from the sub cables in the case the column/door speakers are running through a crossover? Or are they all full range?
Why didn't u let us hear the sub!!! Thats why i watched the vid man
No point. Video can never really pick up bass well for people to hear.
Still good to see some flex rather a little or lot
Will this work for a C300 convertible 2019 and will the amp give me more volume without blowing the speakers!!!! Great video!
Did you have to remove the whole rear deck or can the speaker grille just be pried off?
Thanks. You saved me a lot of money
Thank u so much for this video very helpful just made this job so much easier
The former behind the battery, is it the black plastic thing I have to pry open to get inside the car or is it literally behind the battery what did u use to pry open the grommet if that’s where I’m supposed to get inside the car
Hey mate
I can’t install my amplifier because my car is M c200 don’t have a speaker in back for connection Line out Converter , u know how can I install ?
factory sub wires which one is positive/negative for the red/black and for the other side of the subwoofer?
I have a question if I only have a JBl built in amp with box all in one. What all do I need to hook up my stereo I don’t want to pay an arm and a leg if I can do it I have a stock stereo 2006 w203 stereo I know I need: all in one that I have and wires which wires do I need? And is there a step by step on how to add this to my car???? Please help!!??☺️ can I ask why you didn’t need to use a converter?
Hi, I am currently trying to install 2 amplifiers. Can I conneect 2 amps to the same factory sub?
Hey bro great video first off. Second I have a 2002 Mercedes c240 that I'm trying to do the same thing but its just one sub that came stock in the back window of my car facing into to trunk and I cant figure out how to access the wires to splice into it so i can just keep my stock stereo can you help me out at all?
Ha I don’t try much until I see it on you channel! Perfect timing. Did you leave the center speaker wire connected when you tapped in? Just wondering if your system gave you an error if you unplugged it. I did my old bmw and I had to take it to be reprogrammed. Just trying to get a little more base in a cls550
Great ideas bro.. save Big $$$
Hey flexx keep up the good work man I see the growth I was wondering did your stock setup comes Harmon and kardon speakers or system or they was jus regular
How did yoy remove the back speaker cover?
I can't find the rear stock sub for the w204. What rms is it?
Would the trunk battery work?
Thank you. God bless
Bro you are a master wire guy. I would pay you to teach me how to set up my whole system just like this lol
Nope. Not at all. I’m Just a regular guy hoping his own car doesn’t blow up or catch on fire.
Hey flex what are those lights in the trunk called can you please send me a link thank you
when connecting the line out converter up top to the rear deck speakers, what wires are you connecting the constant 12V+ wire and negative wire to?
On the converter combine the 2 stripe wires, combine the 2 solid wires together, hook the combined wires to the speaker; the solid wires are the hot +, stripe are negative, hook the blue wire to the amp remote and the black to the amp ground
Do you have a high low adapter
Love this
I've thought about doing something to my W204, this looks like a solid setup 👍
Really solid and simple. Nothing crazy but it does bump really well.
Flexx Alexander sounds like my style 👌
When you tapped into the speaker in the back dash what type on hi low converter you used so you can connect the RCA jacks
THANK YOU, BECAUSE THIS IS THE MAIN THING!
Kicker KISLOC2 Line Output Converter
what if i tap directly to the sub out and connect a sub-woofer with out a Amp ?? You think my built in amp will burn ?
Yes bad idea it will be too much load on the built in amp.
I need to get a set of those lights in the trunk. Any rattling in the trunk from the sub?
No rattling whatsoever.
How are you securing the sub box? In the video it looks like it's simply free to fly around back there.
It’s not in the video but I have big Velcro strips at the bottom of the box that sticks to the carpet lining.
Thank you for making this video. I didn’t tear anything apart on my car yet because I want to be absolutely certain I can safely remove the grill covering the subwoofer in the rear deck. You skipped over that part in the video.
Just cracked and ripped mine =(. Used plastic trim remover tko6
This is exactly how i want to connect my amp and rockgate sub but do you tap to the converter so the rear speakers still are connected and playing?
Of course. I don’t cut any wires that I tap. Tapping is stealing signal without harming what’s already there.
@@TheFlexxGarage thanks, the rear speakers aren't very good but that's a next project.
The line out converter connect to the rear speaker did u connect all 4 wires to both ends of the rear speaker/oem subwoofer cause the rear speaker has 4 wires connected to it. 2 on each side
Yes
@@TheFlexxGarage awesome thanks big bro 😎
Did you have the Harmon system in here before this instal?
Yes
I like to listen to the Sat/radio/media in my GLA 45 with the engine off, but the ECU computer shuts off the radio after a few minutes. Is there a way to defeat or adjust this ECU parameter on the Mercedes? Thx. (BTW, great video).
I don't even have sound coming out of my harmon kardon sound system. I bought it like that the dealer said he doesn't no why. Bull ...... it also has a XHD-8000 screen 10.25 inch. It's good everything works just no sound. Driving me nuts. Mercedes did a diagnostic check and said it's between the screen and the head unit something there not working
i am having the same problem,it started after i installed the AMG Menu and Map updates.
But,,,, GREAT IDEA with the bright LED's in the trunk! I'm going to do that to my car. I agree to the comment that the existing light in the trunk SUCKS!!! :D
Yeah..I have no clue I didn't do it before. At night, my trunk looks sooooo good now. I can see everything and it's a clean install.
Hey what’s up Flexx it’s a small world as they say ..I just notice that we are our were neighbors if you still reside where you mad this video i would like to get together so you can give me some pointers you’d seen me or my wife driving a white 2014 Mercedes-Benz cla 250 I just bought a 10 inch Rockford Fosgate subwoofer and a amp for $250 put I need some one to run the wire harness
Thanks
Ommy
How did u connect the rca cables to the speaker
to the car speaker? using a line out converter as i mentioned in the video. The line out converter taps into the terminals on the existing car speaker.
On factory sub what are the pos and negative wires
Use a test light
All you need is a Audio Control LC2i PRO and tap into the rear speaker wires, the speaker wires act as a signal so you don't need the remote wire. Remote out coming from the Audio Control LC2i PRO connects to the amplifier.
I just bought a 2014 c250 with HK7, the back right speakers are blown, how can i get rid of the rattle? Will adding this and a new sub remove the old sub and rattle? How do u keep the other small speaker back there connected?
Aye boss I have a lc2i, do I just plug the two wires into the amp then run it straight to the speaker?
I don't have speakers in the parcel shelf can I use the rear door speakers?
Yes. Cause tapping into a speaker is just to get the signal. It’s always a cleaner signal from the back of the radio but for bass, any signal from any speaker will do. The aftermarket amp is going to do the rest of the work.
Ok will try doing it again thanks for your help
My battery is located in the boot, does that make it easier to install this or is it more work?
FaultieR much easier
trying to figure out the wiring. Can anyone help me with the tapping into the rear sub? I have the same setup but can’t figure it out. Driving me crazy.
Did you ever figure it out ?
@@Teflonbond007 did you ever figure it out
Did you tap in to only one speaker or both? I’m a newbie so not that sure ! Please revert soon as I’m installing this week
1
Thank you for the speedy reply ! I’m picking up a used amp and it’s a dual channel, is it okay if I tap into only one speaker ?
manav850 yes
Where did u hook the remote wire too
Any power that turns on with the key
Not bad my gee.
Did you connect the line out converter to both red/black and yellow/black wires on the factory sub? Or did you just connect it to the red and black?
If I remember, I think only red black.
Flexx Alexander ah okay! and one more question. Did you do positive/negative on the LOC and put one on the red wire and then one on the black? ? Or did you do positive/positive and negative/negative. I’ve been seeing many different ways but I’ve been watching your videos for everything on my c350 coupe and I just wanted to know how you did it because you do things most efficiently 🤙🏾
@@vonipl Where you able to figure it out i'm also confused if the red and black wire is supposed to be positive/negative or positive/positive negative/negative because the LOC came with 4 wires 2 positive and 2 negative
hey flexx can you make a video install flame thrower kit please.
Lol. No way.
Bro bro bro what color are neg and pos colors for the suB.... 911....HELP..ALSO NICE SET UP
Did you ever find the colors ? I'm doing an install this weekend on the same car
Will this void the warranty? I have a brand new Benz and dealer said it would mess up my head unit.
Only one person can tell you if it voids the warranty and that’s the person/company that provides you with a warranty. Nobody else can tell you. Not a TH-camr, not your dad, not anyone. At the end of the day, the warranty person/company makes the rules.
Warranty company’s can make up anything to not cover you especially if you install an aftermarket part onto a car. They can blame a subwoofer if you have an electrical problem. They can blame a tune for your door window not working. They can do almost anything they want and the only way to get full coverage, is keep your car bone stock. They aren’t gonna pay up for some issue you have caused by an “aftermarket part” that was improperly installed.
It’s up to you to decided if you wanna risk it or not.
I buy my cars outside of the warranty period cause I want to mod the crap outta it. I just make sure I have a good mechanic if anything happens.
@@TheFlexxGarage to me it’s not worth it if you have a brand new Benz. This is only good for older models. Unless you are super rich I would advise against what he is doing. It’s going to void your warranty and if you have electrical problems your screwed.
@@axelfoley8385 There is actually a law that says aftermarket auto accessories will not void your warranty. I found it in a benz forum. unfortunately I don't have the link.
how did u fold your back seats in the w204 ?
You just fold it. Mine came with that option. Some base models don’t.
@@TheFlexxGarage Oh... I think i got the one without that option... Thank you sir!
If you have it there's 2 handles/levers on each side
Why didn’t you wire it straight to the battery in the boot bro
What are you talking about? It’s clear in the video the power for the amp is ran from the battery in the front.
@@TheFlexxGarage Oh your battery is in the front is it ? I have a c220 my battery is in the rear
I was thinking the same. My battery is in the rear
Is your batterie in your boot ?
No. I mentioned in the video it’s in front and I had to run the power cable all the way to the rear trunk.
What if you don’t have back speakers
Then tap into another speaker.
What was your stock sound system? What’d you think of it? Good, bad? Debating on whether or not to do this upgrade now to mine. Great video! 🤑
I wanna say my car came with the stock system with logic 7. It sounded good but I needed more bass. So yeah, this new setup was perfect.
Your 204 looks the tits bro makes me wanna get one lol. Love the wrap and colour scheme. I love your bang for buck approach it sets you apart from all the other youtube channels who have an unnecessary "the best or nothing" approach.
😎🤙🏼
First. I comment before I watch it.
come on now..you have to watch it first!...hahahaha
Where is your input coming from ?
exactly my car doesnt even have a dash i have the A180 SE 2019 its all i have are 2 touch screens and no dashboard lol if anyone could help me much appreciated
His input are from tapping in to the speaker wire and going to the conversion box then rca jacks to the amp “in”
Did u have hk system?
in my C250, yes I did.
I have a new E-Class coupe and the speakers are trash, no car electronics installers can be bothered fitting an amp for me because they are too happy doing shit like installing dash cams. They just say why would you want better speakers the stock should be good in that car.
I want to see it working lol
Sold the car years ago. It works though cause that’s the most basic way to add a sub to a stock radio system.
