CLK W208 Audio Queries

[rufus357]

Have done a lot of searching on this topic. I have a yr2001 CLK convertible with Audio 10 - non Bose, I think. Photos of the sub are below.

One of my front door speakers has blown and the sub is useless. The whole things sounds slightly muddy, but I am on a very tight budget to upgrade.

- Will I get a better sound from replacing my door speakers and unpowered sub with budget JVC / Pioneer speakers?

Or do I need to replace the HU and add a powered sub to get a noticeable difference?

Budget is super tight at ~£150. Not expecting miracles but feel I should be able to get better than current.

For that kind of money not sure how much of a gain you can get

If I were you, firstly I'd replace the blown door speaker. Then try and source a second hand double din headunit for the rest, a second hand SPH-da120 or the likes although these are around £200 you could try make an offer?

Thanks for the input but not sure how just moving to a double DIN will help me?

The 8"sub in the rear seats is wired by 2 sets of green/brown wires. Is this somehow Sub specific wiring or it just treated like another ordinary speakeer?

Thanks

if you look at the image you posted, you can see that there is a low pass crossover filter attached to your sub
