Hey all,
I'm looking to upgrade my speakers to some rockford fossgates. What is the size for the front door speakers, rear and rear deck? Also, i took out the speaker cover and saw that it (factory speakers) are on mounting brackets of some sort? Do I take those speakers off the brackets and put the new one in or what? Anyone have experience with this from b4? btw, it's a 94 C220. Thanks!

I've tried looking on there, but for the 94's, they dont have the speaker sizes or even the speakers available for 94's. All they have when I look up my car are the kickpanels and CD changers...

If you've got Bose in it you're going to have to rip everything out and replace the whole system, head unit and all. I believe it's two tweets (1-2") in the dash, 4" in the doors, and 6" in the rear. This is my best guess. Overall you're probably looking at around $400-$500 dollars if you replace the whole thing yourself. Installed professionally you're probably looking at a grand or more. Again, this is if you have Bose, which I do believe '94 C 280's came with.

If you do have a bose setup you can get away with only replacing the speakers but you will have to get a by-pass box. Bose speakers are pre-amped, the aftermarket speakers won't be. The box is like $40.

No bose system. Just regular. I've already changed the deck to a Pioneer DEH-6400. Just sounds crappy with the stock paper speakers....anyone know the size of the speakers and if I can them off the OEM mount/brackets and put the aftermarket ones on?

u may wanna ask jirwan....he's changed his whole system (recently posted on the c36/c43 board, gear shifter post)

Just Curious. Do you need to add an amp to drive those door speakers in order to hear the difference??

This is a pretty good writeup.
