Hi I'm new to the forum and have a 02 c240. I'm planning to upgrade the audio system and have been searching the forum extensively. I'm looking at putting a standard Alpine Din radio and Boston Accoustics Component Set powered by an amp (Will put a small sub). I have a coupple of questions and if they can be answered I would greatly appreciate it. I'll be ordering everything from Crutchfield. Just to make sure weather or not I have the Bose system or not i opened a panel in the trunk and it read Motorola and I dont hae the Bose logo on any of speakers so im almost positive I have a stock system correct? I'll be using the wiring harness supplied by Crutchfield but from my understanding I'll not get power to the head unit unless I tap into the cigarette lighter? I've never installed components. Is there a speaker size that will fit perfect?(6.5 is stock size) Will I be able to use the stock brackets to mount the speakers, or is there something I can use or buy besides fabricating one out of MDF. When mounting the crossover does it have to be screwed down is there space in the panel or can I just use double sided velcro? Thanks you so much for the help- jster611
