Just picked up a 06' Mercedes C55 and need a little audio help...
I want to keep the factory HU and speaker amp, but want to run an ipod (preferably not MBs ipod interface) and a sub-stage with after-market amp. I know of some products like the JL cleansweep and Audison BitOne that have ipod inputs (or USB) and still work as a solid OEM interface.
I could care less about keeping my steering wheel controls when I use my ipod. I want the best SQ possible, however Im pretty sure the BitOne is expensive so if the cleansweep will do the job at 1/2 the price, sign me up. Is there any other interfaces I could look into?
So... what is everyones opinion on what i should do? I have the subs/amp already picked out so no need for help on those. |

i like those rims, thats a clean lookin benz. the c55 is amg right? i bet it hauls...
i think rf has the 360.1 thing but i doubt its close to jl or audison. also, i don't think ecoustics is the place to ask too many sq questions.
i always ask my sq/speaker questions over here and they know their sh!t. some dudes on there have some pretty nasssty setups.

you didn't get good reviews on either the jl or the audison? because somebody has a cleansweep on ca.com for 85 shipped, might be worth just buying and trying, i bet you could move it if you end up not wanting it.
hate to sound stupid, but i'm gonna guess your car has an amplified sound system, i wonder if there's anyway the stock amp has rca inputs? that would be too easy and there's probably no way thats true, but there's gotta be a good way because on all those unique whips shows they always throw systems in like the cls's and s classes. |

I Wish the stock amp had RCAs, but it doesnt.
Im not sure what they do on unique whips, i've only seen it once or twice. Pretty cool show tho. |
