Unhappy Factory Rear Speakers (trashed)

Any advice on replacement for my blown rear speakers (lower door location)?

I have a '97 C230.

Do these require a special ohm rating? They're stock from the factory (not Bose).

Any help would be much appreciated!

If they're non-Bose you should be able to use any normal 4 ohm speaker that fits.

I haven't had an yo fmine go out yet, but I'm waitin' on it. I had to replace the rear 6X9's in my Maxima to the tune of $400. It's rediculous how much it costs to replace Bose.

hey, i just got my mb and it doesnt' have bose but does the factory system actually not have any bass at all or is it just my speakers?
kinda have to turn it up pretty high then u can hear a slight hint of bass but the speakers cant' take it. bass is turned up all the way.
