CLK W209 speaker wiring

[login_user]

I have a question . I am fitting some morel speakers to my clk w209 56 plate. The original front door speakers have separate connections for the tweeters and woofers. When I fit the new speakers what connections do you use?

Do i use the woofer connection into the morel crossover and then from the cross over into the tweeter and woofer. or is there a built in crossover after the command unit? I don't have the bose or Harman, just standard command.

Use the cable to the original woofer into the Morel x-over and then run new cables from the x-over to the Morel woofer and the tweeter. When you get to the original wiring you should find that the original feed cable just splits out to two feeds (woofer/tweeter) with a simple filter (capacitor) on the tweeter. Just fitted the same speakers to mine (W219). Worth putting extra sound deadening into the doors on the outside skin and on the door card.

Thanks for the info. fitted them today and used some dynamat. Sounds better than standard. where did you fit the sound deadening?

All off the external door skin, some of the internal, door cards, under rear seat, the wall between the boot and cabin, and took out the boot liner and did all I could reach around there. Basically if it 'rang' when tapped it got treated. Has made a reasonably quiet car very quiet and a big step up in sound quality. Treating the boot made the biggest difference to the overall noise levels, treating the doors improved the quality of the sound. Used 2mm Silent Mat ( CLD Sound Deadening Mats ) as it thicker and cheaper than standard Dynamat.

wow, I didn't go that far at this point. But will do at some point. I used Dynamat Extreme on the doors, only covered about 50%, was in a bit of a rush.. Really impressed with the morel speakers. The old speakers sounded really tinny.
