Speaker upgrade?

[MissVix]

Hi

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?

Comand Online have previously recommended upgrading the speakers to me. They usually suggest Morel speakers.

You can achieve a lot better than HK by spending a lot less too.

Email me your vin number to [email protected] with a brief description of what you would like to get from the upgrade.

Been hearing good things about the French company Focal .



Only £120 .

comandonline.co.uk upgraded the speakers on my C-Class by fitting 4 Morel speakers in the doors and an Alpine flat subwoofer in the boot.

The sound quality is amazing and their workmanship is top notch - highly recommended.

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 !

Problem is they're at the other end of the country and I'm not making a 600 mile round trip just for some speakers.

Who can fit them though?

You can but the Morel speakers from Comand UK, though obviously you'll still need to find a local fitter.

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 .

Wrong !

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 !
