The Challenge: Improving a Limited Factory System
Official Focal distributors contacted us looking for an installer experienced with the new generation of the Mercedes-Benz C200 W206. This model has a unique layout: only one subwoofer is factory-installed on the passenger side, while the driver's side is sealed with a plastic cover.
Erick, a trusted customer, brought in his C200 this week with a clear goal:
"I want my son’s car to have clean, modern sound with tight bass, without changing anything inside."
The perfect solution: the new Focal iSub MBZ 2 RHD V2, designed specifically to replace the original subwoofer in right-hand drive Mercedes vehicles.
🔊 The Product: Focal iSub MBZ 2 RHD V2

⚖️ OEM+ Installation at MC Audio
At MC Audio, we installed the new Focal iSub MBZ 2 RHD V2 into the original passenger-side subwoofer housing. We verified power integrity, ensured acoustic sealing, and performed digital EQ adjustments to perfectly balance the system.
The driver’s side enclosure was left sealed, as designed from factory, preserving the clean interior while delivering much deeper, cleaner bass.
