Need Help with Stock Speakers

Hey Guys, I have a 2005 c230 kompressor, and I am just not happy with my audio system, but its ok, you dont buy mercedes for the audio system. I want to upgrade every speaker in the car, but am not sure what size they all are or the location.

I'm going to change the hi's, upgrade the amp and get an after market deck, yea sounds like lots of work and money, but I figure I'm keepin this car for 10 years at least so its worth it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

go on crutchfield.com and enter in your vehicle info and it will tell you what is compatible, what sizes, etc. If you buy from them they even give you master sheets of how to install that stuff in your car. I've used them before and they are good, they don't have the best prices - but are competitive, but they do go the extra mile with service and support.

Good luck man. I have to say though, for a stock system, the factory setup in my 2006 really sounds amazing even though the locations of the speakers don't seem to be ideal, especially in the back. Even so, I'm a nut and also want to replace the speakers in my car. So far I've learned that we have front and rear door speakers, and front door tweeters (in that triangle area). I have what looks like a speaker grill on the center of the top of my dash as well but I don't know if there is anything in there, maybe a mini-sub. I'm dissapointed that they don't come with rear deck speakers.

I'm not sure if I'll go with a new speaker setup first of my ECU reflash - I really hate the lag of my car

Good luck and let me know what setup you go with. In the past I've used Pioneer Premeir and JLAudio and both sound great. I'm considering Polk this time around just because I've never had them but haven't quite made up my mind yet.
