Can't seem to get that thread to work... Are you volunteering to give this a try...? I'd like to improve my BOSE speakers, especially bass so let us know if you decide to try it...

You are right. That link doesn't work. Let me search around for it again.

I can't find where I read it but it was from a guy who replaced the speakers only, in his Mercedes suv and really liked the improvement. He used the Kappa series Ininity 2 ohm speakers. Here is a link to their web site: http://www.infinitysystems.com/caraudio/product.aspx?ProdId='KAPPA63.7I'&Ser=KAP&Cat=MEL

Hey. I will have to wait for the better weather here before trying it but it sounds worthwhile. I would also have to find out how to remove the grilles without marking them up. Pretty scary on a pretty Benz.

Agreed... I read a post recently where an MB owner purchased a panel removing tool and said it made the work of removing the speaker grills much easier... Not sure what the tool was called though...

Yeah. That tool could make the difference for me trying a speaker swap out.
