A pair of Arc Audio Foose FD2200 amplifiers boosts the audio signal. One amp powers the sub and the other feeds the components in the cabin. Both sit in a fiberglass amprack in the trunk. Anderson built the rack with an MDF skeleton that he wrapped in fleece and reinforced with fiberglass. For some eye candy, he added a 5.6-inch monitor, whose MDF frame is glued at an angle to the amprack.
The stealthy install took under two weeks to complete at a cost of about $7,000. With all of the factory luxury intact but with enough customization to keep it interesting, this Mercedes-Benz makes a perfect escape for Overhaulin's knockout co-host.
Driver Profile: Actress Adrienne Janic enjoys her Mercedes-Benz every day. "This isthe main car that I drive," she says of her perfect ride. "It's not too small and it's not too big." A.J. liked the Benz before the install, but now she loves it. "Sitting in L.A. traffic is a whole lot better than before I had the system," she enthuses. She just hooks up her iPod to play hip-hop, rock, or dance music - the selection depends on her mood. In addition to giving her a new system to enjoy, the experience let this Overhaulin' cohost know what marks on the show go through. "It was like a mini overhaul," she reveals. "You're kind of nervous and kind of excited." In the end, "I was more than happy."
