Speaker replacement-2001 C320Hey guys, I am a broke college student and one of my fro

Hey guys, I am a broke college student who drives a 2001 C320 and one of my front door speakers blew out. I figured its best to replace all 4 front and rear door speakers now. I don't want to spend too much on this, my budget would be around 70-100$. I'd like to improve the quality of the sound as well as add a little bass, but I don't want to buy a big subwoofer as those are expensive.
I did some looking around, and thought I could use
these these
for the front door speakers, and then
these small subwoofers these small subwoofers
for the rear door speakers to give it a little bass. I would love your guys' opinions, as well as any concerns(such as wiring or anything else burning out) that you may have on this potential setup.

I know that you need to be careful with how deep (thick) the speakers are.
I'm not sure of mounting, impedance, etc.

Good Luck!

Does your C320 have a Bose system?

You're not going to improve on your stock sound system on that budget.

Ditto on this. The OEM speakers are not bad at all. I suggest you find a used speaker at a used parts lot. That will be your easiest repair. Plus if yours is the same as mine, you also have tweeters in the door sails. You would have to replace those also as 2 way component set.
The oem speakers are part of a one piece molded plastic mount. Replacing them with after market means constructing custom mounts. Not an easy thing to do.
On your budget, anything you buy will sound worse. I did a major upgrade of mine, including dsp processor and lots of amps, plus sub... took me a long time and $$. I am ex owner of aftermarket car audio shop.

These speakers really shock your car) But you need to listen to music a little quieter so that next time you do not harm the speakers. I think that you should put your higher education in the first place because it is very important. And then ride a car and listen to music. I can tell you a little about myself. Having mastered communications at the university, I also strive for excellence in everything that I do. Writing is what I like to do, so I proudly call myself one of the professional remote academic writers in this reliable assistant for completing assignments, you can buy assignment at Paperial.com. I think it will be useful for you. Also in my free time I love playing football, listening to music, programming, and I think that day is a failure if you haven’t done anything useful.
