Match UP W8MB-S4 LHD

Match UP W8MB-S4 LHD – 8″ upgrade subwoofers for Mercedes vehicles (left-hand drive)

The UP W8MB-S4 LHD is the bass foundation of Audiotec Fischer’s MATCH UPGRADE system for Mercedes. The set of two 8″ (200 mm) subwoofers replaces the factory bulkhead woofers in left-hand-drive C-Class (205), E-Class (238/213) and GLC (253) models, adding the deep, punchy bass the standard speaker setup does not deliver.

The heavy-duty woofers fit the original mounting positions in the bulkhead, use exclusively developed baskets and car-specific connectors and are tuned for Mercedes vehicles with significantly increased power handling. Audiotec Fischer states they show their full dynamic potential with one of its DSP amplifiers.
