Hi,
I would like to upgrade the speakers in my car, and I have a few questions.

Has anyone tackled this job on a newer SL with the side airbags? I found some info on benzworld a while back but it did not seem to fit my car :confused:
Can anyone tell me what speaker sizes will fit? and how many speakers there are in each door?

Thanks in advance,

Peter
 
Just been looking into doing the same thing on my car. Have a bit of a problem as one of the mid-bass units is distorting. The car is fitted with a amp under the back seat, so check for this before going any further.
If you have an amp, id advise against changing speakers, the amp is eq'd so much to suit the standard speakers, that changing the speakers will give he opposite effect than expected.

The airbags are not attached to the door cards bit tear through them when deployed, so not an issue for us here.

each door has a 6"mid bass, and 3.5" midrange, with 1" tweeters in the dash.
If your going to go for it, let me know, could meet up and try both on the same day.
 
Cheers :) I will have a look for the amp! I changed my headunit when I first got the car. It never occured to me that there might be any extras in there :o

Doing the two cars together sounds like a very good idea :) How quick do you want to do yours?
