Match UP W8MB-S4 Single LHD

Match UP W8MB-S4 Single LHD – 8″ upgrade subwoofer for the co-driver side of Mercedes vehicles (left-hand drive)

The UP W8MB-S4 Single LHD is the single-woofer version of Audiotec Fischer’s MATCH UPGRADE 8″ subwoofer for Mercedes. It contains one 200 mm heavy-duty woofer for the original co-driver-side bulkhead position in left-hand-drive C-Class (205), E-Class (238/213) and GLC (253) models.

The woofer is designed to add the deep, punchy bass that the basic Mercedes speaker setup lacks. Its basket is developed exclusively for Mercedes vehicles, a car-specific connector makes installation easy, and the sound is tuned for Mercedes with significantly increased power handling. Full dynamic potential is reached with one of Audiotec Fischer’s DSP amplifiers.
