[W126 Coupe] Sound system for 500 SEC

[Yousef]

Thanks axel i was just thinking of making the dock for an iPAD (complete nav and media solution :P) but measurements showed thats gonna be in the passengers way so i put that aside till i actually own an iPAD :P .. And your solution is quiet reasonable but like u said about space also when you wanna navigate through your list it might be a bit of a distraction .. Keep it up

> Am in the process of upgrading my sound system too.. I was thinking of switching to a different head unit such as Kenwood and mounting speakers via kickpanels etc.. but at the same time i do not want anything too flashy i want it to blend in with the interior..and am trying to build a good quality system with reasonable bass and crisp sounds

> regarding the ipod upgrade... my 560 came with a phone dock so i though id mount my iphone and internally have a charger and AUX connected to power supply and HU.. instead of drilling through the original dock.. I replicated it using fiberglass and body filler .. made it a bit wider and it is much heavier but for a first try it is good enough for me.. i bought a fake=cheap IPAD dock and did some cutting in order to get the result shown in the pictures.. also got a iphone car charger and am gonna connect it from the lighter supply behind the ashtray .. now i just need to do some more sanding and then take it to an upholstry shop..
