Brads 2000 MB CLK430 is over the top nice. There is so much going on I can only scratch the surface during the walk around. Below is the list of products that are in his trunk. This thing really sounds good! The bass carries like crazy, I heard him from so far away and it took him forever to pull into the driveway. Of course the neighbors about 200 yards away were not happy. I would say "Karen" but she was actually nice about it. So I will save that name for someone who deserves it. This is an industrial area, if i really want to play my system, I will. But I don't like to disturb people for too long so we shut it down. Check out the list below and thanks for watching if you did!
