My 2016 E220 has good sound quality but I'd like better however there must be a better alternative than dropping over £2000 on a Harman Kardon setup - any recommendations?

I've bought a set of used HK speakers (tweeters, front door and rear door) for £100 for my 2013 W204. I have a faulty rear speaker needing replaced anyway and I've never been into audio builds. Will I notice any difference or did I throw away £100?
Alfie what do you recommend for my facelift S204 , I haven't removed the rear door card but presume I've these stock coaxial's with an angled up tweeter as the rear door card upper tweeter grill is fake !
It's not difficult , plenty of how to on YouTube , if uncomfortable even a mechanic could do it considering the amount of central locking units they replace .
I've done my own on another car .
Door skin panel damping and all .
Will definitely address the Merc's rear doors at some point as the tweeter is fake and it's just a stock coaxial and sounds it .
Unbelievably Mercedes down graded the rear speaker in a facelift.
All I had in there was a pathetic single cone with the smallest magnet.
I found out this just by shining a torch through my grill and seeing the center of the speaker cone whereas a pre facelift or at least this 08 / 09 C350 CDI I looked at you couldn't as it was blocked by a bridged housing a upward pointing tweeter .
WHY MERCEDES WHY
Big difference between the sounds of the two original set ups.
And now an even bigger difference
So if you have a facelift with down graded rear speakers this is an easy and not expensive no brainer.
I was prompted to do this as my mid 70's father purchased a BMW F11 that had the M Sport plus package and so had 16 Harmon Kardon speakers !
