Hey my name is Stuart Easling im 17 and this is my 1978 Mercedes Benz 280SE. its a big german tank and it weighs frikkin 2 tonnes but it puts out 200hp which isnt bad for a 2.8 straight six from 1978

Have recently upgraded exhaust with a full 2 1/4 inch straight-through lukey exhaust system which finishes in a stainless steel autotecnica cannon. The new MTX sub goes a lot harder than the sony.

Pioneer 260 watt 3-way 6x9s.....we boxed them at my mates factory and constructed a whole new parcel shelf, the black carpet looks good, no?

Pioneer 220 watt 4-way 6 inches.... we constructed a plate at matty's factory that screwed into the little shelf between the seats, the black carpet again went well.

This perfectly describes my financial situation at the moment.

Not running too badly for 300000+ kms.

The MTX thunder 4500 pre-boxed 12 inch. It goes a lot harder than the sony, and requires less power.

Autotecnica muffler. Needs installation....quickly.

Boss Amp. the option that splits the middle of a cheaper, crappier amp (audiomaster or equivalent) and a more expensive, better amp (pioneer or equivalent. but it does the job.

ive bridged two of the channels to fire the MTX which is more power than it needs and have since bought 2 more MTX 150 watt rms 6x9s which run off the other 2 channels. They currently sit in a toolbox on the parcel shelf that got attacked by an angle grinder.

Nice Benz. Try to keep it clean and original as possible. Keeps its value better. Have you thought about putting those front speakers in the kick panels instead of the console? You will get much better stereo separation that way. Good lookin' car bro'
