Missing driver side speaker
Not sure what happened to it. Maybe someone along the way during service took it or it just fell. I didn't notice till recently. Suggestions on trying to pull or find it?

Forgot to add, I'm looking for ideas other than door panel removal. (which I'm afraid might be the only way)

Maybe try sticking a magnet down there somehow? Door panel removal is easy. I did a little tutorial with pics a while back, just search for it.

I'm going try to get a magnet. Just curious, if the speaker is there, how far down could it have gone? I cannot open the door panel since I do not have any tools with me here in FL, but might be the only solution. Thanks Ryan.

If i remember correctly, there are a lot of obstacles that it would have had to hit before reaching the bottom. Most likely its lodged between something. Try a hanger too.

I would suggest a flashlite and a flexible shop mirror first to see if you can locate it. You don't want to accidently damage the membrane when you reach in to pull it out.

I ended just prying the side of the door near the hindges open. I found the tweeter just dangling there and operational. I used the DIY on the door by ryanr317 at https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...=134887&page=2

thanks, everything sounds much better!

Good to hear that you got it back. I was just going to add that it can't fall too far.

Glad to be of service! I figured it was still wired so it couldn't have fell too far.
