I ran mine under the door seals, and then into the center console from the front passenger side into the center console.
Real quick question for those who have installed a subwoofer in the back of their 202.
Where did you run your cables through from the stereo? did you take it under the door seals? or through the center console?

Im guessing you are talking about the cable running from the back to front.
So where does it pass through the boot to the rear passenger seats to get to the door seals?
I hide the wires in the trim of the car. My sub is in the back, I wasnt clear about that Lol. You can run the cables through the center console very easily, you just have to unscrew the thing and take it out. If you need help removing it, here is a video from W201n202...

From the right rear seat from the back where the Sub is...

Going into the center console

Yujin, what kind of sub are you running? Sealed box, ported box?
1997 C280 Sport
My philosophy for my car is "Simplicity, Low Profile and Timeless Beauty"
I'm not trying to shake the car, or the ground, just get enough for me to enjoy while driving, and have trunk space still haha. Plus, it matches the interior with my bright LED lighting I have in the car.
The Sub is a Kicker, 12'' sub with a 350w amp. The sub came pre-built, so sealed box? Idk the lingo to tell you the truth.

Looks good, Have you tried standing it up? maybe that would save some space, then again the height may hit the ceiling..

I think i might run my cables behind the steering collumn, as i have found it leads straight to the door seals?
I've never tried it, wouldnt know much about it. If it works, post up some pics if you can

'86 MKIV Escort RS Turbo, stock for now, chip and more boost on the way
'75 Fiat 124 Spider, koni shocks, bigger carb and drilled/slotted brakes

Yeah, I will have to agree. the Stock radio isnt bad, but with my aftermarket, I def hear a difference. But now my cars interior looks cheesy with a blue ring around it lol.

After giving my car a good browse, ill be running the stereo cables through under the ateering collumn into a joint that leads straight the door seals.. All the way to the back bench but i have no idea how it can get to the back! Someone please help me via my other thread in 'interior' section! Thanks!
has no one found its very hard to hear the subwoofer pounding ? Im not sure if its because im used to an open boot (used to have an estate) but this is shear quiet!
My pounds very loud Lol. Adjust settings? On both the amp and the stereo?

your subs might just not be powerful enough too
Its hard to hear because the benz is basically soundproofed for a quieter ride (if u note there is a solid metal wall behind the seat with no opening. What I did was take out the bose speaker sub and the foam which blocked up the hole on the back dash and now a little more thump comes through. Next step will be to cut out holes in the rear seat wall to let through more sound
