Mercedes-Benz GLC subwoofer & amp installation, generation by generation.
Radio King does subwoofer and amplifier installation on every Mercedes-Benz GLC generation we see: X253 (2015–2022): Compact subwoofer in the boot side recess or under the front seat, driven by a DSP amplifier fed from the factory signal; Burmester cars keep their amplifier and gain the low end the system lacks; X254 (2022 on): Under-seat subwoofer or a slim boot enclosure on a DSP amplifier that takes the MBUX signal; the under-seat option suits the plug-in hybrids, whose boot floor is already raised. From €500 incl. VAT. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

FAQ
Mercedes-Benz GLC subwoofer: questions people ask.
Answers for GLC owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppWhere does a subwoofer go in a GLC without losing the boot?
On the X253 the neatest spot is the side recess in the boot, behind the trim, or an eight-inch woofer under the front seat; on the X254 we favour the under-seat woofer, because the plug-in hybrid battery already raises the boot floor. Either way a DSP amplifier takes the signal from the factory head unit, so nothing changes on the screen and the Burmester amplifier stays.
Is the Burmester system in a GLC worth upgrading?
The Burmester system is clear but light on bass, which is what most owners notice. We leave the Burmester amplifier and speakers in place and add a compact subwoofer on its own DSP amplifier, fed from the factory signal and time-aligned to the front speakers. You keep the factory controls and the sound settings, and gain the low end the system never had.
How much does subwoofer cost on a Mercedes-Benz GLC?
It depends on the generation. X253 (2015–2022): from €650; X254 (2022 on): from €500. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Mercedes-Benz GLC years can have subwoofer?
X253, built 2015–2022 (Audio 20 or COMAND Online on NTG5 with the 7 or 8.4-inch screen; CarPlay optional on some cars from 2016; the 2019 facelift brought MBUX (NTG6) with the 10.25-inch touchscreen and CarPlay on most cars): Compact subwoofer in the boot side recess or under the front seat, driven by a DSP amplifier fed from the factory signal; Burmester cars keep their amplifier and gain the low end the system lacks. X254, built 2022 on (MBUX (NTG7) with the 11.9-inch portrait touchscreen; CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory): Under-seat subwoofer or a slim boot enclosure on a DSP amplifier that takes the MBUX signal; the under-seat option suits the plug-in hybrids, whose boot floor is already raised.
How long does subwoofer take on a Mercedes-Benz GLC?
About half a day on the Mercedes-Benz GLC X253 and X254. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit subwoofer on a Mercedes-Benz GLC?
On every GLC we work on — X253 and X254 — the factory head unit stays; the amplifier takes its signal from the car and under-seat woofers leave the boot free.
Do I need to book subwoofer for my Mercedes-Benz GLC, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (X253 and X254) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
