Adding a subwoofer can add to new sensation of frequencies factory drivers don’t hit. I went with 2 – ten inch jl audio 10w0v3. While back in the 1990s the W0 I didn’t pay much attention to, running a JL 18w6. I enjoy the new w0v3 series. The new 10w6 […]

Some of my favorite threads on MBworld
MBworld.org has some amazing knowledge. It is a little deep though to dig through, and it isn’t always the most intuitively laid out. Here are two of my favorite threads on MBworld. Build the most powerful CLS 550 4matic is one of my favorite threads on any forum hands […]
Morendi
In my search for TCU tuning I found a tidbit from MBworld.org, a user there suggested Morendi for TCU tuning and to reach out to them by Instagram. Well I did. The price is great at $750 for a TCU tune plus the cost of a tactrix 2.0 openport. […]
Solo Motorsports
I came across Solo Motorsports from a recommendation on the TunedMercedes and other tuner fb groups when looking for who has TCU tunes and was pointed at the usual suspects, plus Solo Motorsports. I started looking into them and they offer very competitive pricing and compelling products. I have not […]
Laser Jammer Install on E class w212
Check out this install thread on MBworld.org for AL Priority Laser on a w212. Very clean and detailed with some help from other members with CAD information on the mounts. I am not advocating the use of this, but I do love clean installs and have to link to it […]
Don’t check your oil when cold
While driving in the middle of NC between DC and FL, I made the mistake of checking my oil. It read low, really low. I panicked and added some oil. Later I was racking my brain over why the oil level seemed to vary so much depending on the reading. […]
Pet Hair Remover Gets Dog Hair out of Car Carpet, Leather, Seats, Carpets
I love my dog but I don’t love my dog in my car, because he shed so much! His nails are also really sharp and quite frankly he likely can’t fit comfortably in my CLS, as he is huge. But in my Range Rovers and Toyotas I couldn’t get his […]
Change Cabin Air Filter in Mercedes
If you’re running high flow cats, or no cats on a race application, it is recommended to change your cabin air filter more often than the every b service. Changing the air filters, like the spark plugs, is a little harder than on a toyota. Instead of just going behind […]
Remove Smoke Smell or Fumes from a Catless Car or Smoker’s Car
My ex inherited a house that a smoker, smoked every day in. This woman was awesome, completely unrelated to my ex but still gave her a house. It needed a lot of work, beyond just painting I ended up learning how to remodel from this house. Her dad was a […]
Adding Capacitors and Crossovers to Enhance Factory Speakers’ Sound
One of the ways manufactures can save on the total cost of an audio system is by cutting the costs of the crossovers. As digital processing has evolved one might assume that factory wiring and amps would put out tightly controlled audio signals to each and every speaker independently. However, […]
Upgrade Mid-Woofers in a Mercedes CLS 2011-2018 (likely others too)
After I upgraded the front woofers, added dynamat, upgraded the tweeters, it was time to tackle the mid-woofers. I wanted something that would fit, match the sensitivity, and that was well controlled. I choose the Memphis audio 2.75″ mid-woofer which left a small gap (that should be remedied with some […]
Install Android Screen in Mercedes CLS C218
So there’s been things I’ve needed to do, and I haven’t done for too long. There is a specific category that is at or near the bottom of the list on my life to do, but high in terms of what I should post or write about. I think perhaps […]
DC to Easton, MD
As the pandemic threatens further, social distanced events are more important than ever. A very nice day trip is from the DC area to Easton and St. Michael’s MD. And a beautiful drive fits the bill. Off of exit 19 on 495 you get to a fairly straight high speed […]
Upgrade Mercedes Tweeters in CLS
Previously, I purchased a set of speakers to fit into the front. I was only able to ft the woofers at the time but it made a huge difference. The dynaudio tweeters and mid did not fit. The screen I previously upgraded but haven’t yet done a video on. Later […]

Nearing the mid of November the DMV’s temperature were in the mid-seventies. It was the perfect time to wash my car, and I got to use for the first time the Chemical Brothers new-ish(?) microfiber drying cloth. With that let’s push the button on this review, and I won’t hold […]
