Do you think it would be possible to replace the Bose amplifier with one that is compatible with these after market head units? Or would the stock speakers then no longer work with a different amp?
I have read about people replacing their Fibre Bose AMP with one from an older Mercedes model with did not have fibre. But I have no knowledge if this will work.
The only solution I have seen that looks seamless is to use the original Bose amp and one of these:

But they are rather expensive and I have no first hand experience that they will actually work. Only hearsay from other (US) Merc forums. If you read the blurb it does not mention SL series and it does not list my 2003 W220 either. You might be able to contact and ask the manufacturer.
I know when I attempt it later in the year it's not going to be easy...
