Power ICE! Going at full blast Liao!

There will be no ends to ICE journey. Just happy what you go for and ensure you find a good installer / tuner to juice the most out of your setup. Many have ex setup but not being properly tuned is just a waste.

No space for amps......just step on your McIntosh

 

 

No place for processor and even a DAB - find a hiding place & hide them

 

 

 

Tools & fuses for your ICE?

 

 

No space for boot? Has to sacrifice your tyre well?.......No need!

 

4 Genesis amps, 1 12" IDMax, 1 XES Z50 CD Transport, I Power Bank, Dakota amp meter, volt meter, temp meter, Gold Peak sponsored extra power bank, spare tyre.....still plenty of boot space in the W203 for my wife marketing.

luckily i know nuts about it ! stock best !! (ruth say one )

Those are some really mean sound system setup, super!! The alternator must really be working extra to produce juice for so many hungry woofers 

The genesis are so gorgeous

Simple is always only on the surface, the real good stuffs are mostly hidden. LOL.

The 5200WRMS W124 was running with a 230 ampere Ohio High Output Alternator external voltage regulator.

During blasting voltage is cranked up to 15.5V.

There are other "gadgets" to ensure the 2 RF bd1500.1 amps are run at full output.

Stock is best - I say too!

OMG! You need a external Power Generator !!!!! :D :D This is real POWER AMP !!!!! :thumbsu:

 Is Powerstation popular back then?

New Generation Cartoon's Vito runs on 2 Ohio High Output Alternator with IIRC 10 Deep Discharge Yellow Optima Batteries.

I ran mine with a 230 amp Ohio High Output Alternator externally regulated i.e I can cranked up my voltage as high as 16V with 4 (1 front + 3 Rear) Yellow Optima Batteries.

We used high amp battery isolater/isolaters to isolate the front battery from the rear.

The juice will enter the 2 x RF Power B1500.1 via 2 x 150 amp Jacobs Accuvolt.

This is ensure no voltage drop to the amps.

 

2 RF bd1500.1 = 2 x 1500WRMS @ 2 ohm = 3000WRMS - ran 2 x 15" RF + 2 x 10" RF subs - boot

1 PPI PC21400 = 2 x 700WRMS @ 2 ohm = 1400WRMS - ran 2 sets of MBQuart 218.61Q - boot

2 McIntosh MC431M = 4 x 100WRMS per amp x 2 amps @ 4 ohm = 800WRMS - ran Focal 165W front 2 way + MB Quart 215.61Q rear

Total 5 amps = 5200WRMS

 

We seen many blasting rides ran out of juices and many dead alternators.

We call it power management.

 

I ran 5 different setups!

This was 1 of it.

Hi,

 

i just got my W204 180C which is using Audio 2.0. Is there a way that my audio can read thumb drive MP3, beside CD and radio?

IMHO,

 

I guess your W204 C180K is a Pre FL therefore likely not fitted with USB for Thumb Drive

 

You have 3 choices to add music to your system

 

1. Retrofit COMAND NTG 4.0

Provision for CF Card with built in Music Register

COckpit MAnagement and Navigation Device - All U wanna know about COMAND - Part 2

 

2. Retrofit UCI (Universal Consumer Interface)

a. iPhone/iPod b.USB Thumb Drive c. 3.5mm Aux - (UCI) Retrofit Kit for W204

 

3. Retrofit after market MMI (Multi Media Interface)

 

All 3 site sponsors i.e camber53, Elebest & ricriclo will be able to assist you.

Thanks for your info.

Does changing any ice items in the car void the warranty?

Audio system void!

[Sportinjected]

Ya audio system void. So since going warranty is going to be void then might as well upgrade all ICE components
