W211 08 AG with Audio 20 - Amp + sub recommendations :)

[S-class]

Hi All

Been reading thru the forums and have come across a few older posts by gIzzE who recommends a Amp to improve the sound quality.

My question was which is the best amp and subwoofer combination to go for,?
i'm not up to speed on the latest car Audio so hoping to narrow down a model for both so I can go into a shop and not get sucked into buying a lot of other stuff, eventual plan is to get a newer E or CLS (once facelift comes up) 2-3 years down the line so dont want to spend TOO much on this car, hoping £250 - £500..

Also the lack of Aux in or MP3 capability is really frustrating, I had just assumed a 2008 AvantGarde would have Aux, looking into this it doesn't look cheap to add this functionality unless anyone knows differently.. I've seen the soldering technique but would have to get it done by someone.

Advice appreciated

You sure it's not got aux jack plug in glove box? It's on the top face of the box in the center.

Yep i'm sure, there's a indentation but it's covered, also holding CDC button does nothing, I think I'm supposed to get a message about Aux, car does not have CD changer either.

I think comandonline, who are on here, have recommended a small amp for W211s in the past - which I think fits to the left inside the boot, behind the carpet.

I stuck with the original setup but just added a sub (so you could search for my posts containing 'sub' if you want to go down that road). I don't listen to music loud these days so there is little point in me having more power.

I was just missing the sub as mine doesn't have HK.

Mine took ages to install but I took my time and did it properly.
