W211 speaker locations and sizes
I am looking to upgrade my sound system in my 04 E500. It currently has the standard sound system, not HK. I was curious where all the speakers were and the sizes of them. I was also curious if I needed to rewire the car to add an amp to these speaker locations. Is there a way to use the stock wiring and just add the amp and new speakers? Thanks.

speaker sizes
The front door speakers are 6.5". The kickpanel speakers are 3.5". There are also tweeters in the door. There is one 3.5" speaker in the middle dash. Looks as if it were in an air vent. I havent checked out the rear door speakers yet. I have changed out the front 6.5's and the tweeters to an MB quart component set. The sound is a lot cleaner but still not that loud. I am going to hook up an amp I have and I will let you know how it comes out.

I want to correct myself. The 2 front speakers in the kick panel are not 3.5". They are smaller than that. And they are also not hooked up to the system. There is existing speakers, but they are not hooked up. I am assuming that they are for the navigation system which I dont have.
