Change audio20 speakers.
Hey dudes,
I want to change default speakers (audio 20 no HK) to others. The HK tweeters is the only thing i changed in my audio.
Reading in this forum i found many solutions. There are my questions:
1- To front speakers the best are Kappa 60.9?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/INFINITY-KAPPA-60-9CS-CAR-AUDIO-2-WAY-6-5-COMPONENT-SPEAKER-SYSTEM-SET-6-1-2-/331031628286?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item4d1305c9fe
2- And to rear speakers the best are Kappa 6032Si?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Infinity-Reference-6032Si-Full-Range-6-5-Coaxial-Car-Speakers-2-Way-150W-New-/130968794931?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item1e7e593733
3-The instalation will be easy? Just change the original for Kappa?
4- And EQ settings? I tryed to change, but when i back to Eng Menu the settings are default
5- I read somewhere if you press back+central controller+clear will open a menu to change diferent volumes. I tryed this and nothing happens. What can i do ?
Nice sunday.

Thanks for info socal.
"Be sure to tie wrap the equalizer on the front + set it to 0 (not 16) to void the rattle.
I dont understand this. When you say to equalizer to 0 not 16 is in the engenier menu? How i do it?
Thanks again.

I found the Infinity tweeters WAY to bright. I replaced them with the Alpine SPS-110TW and they are much more pleasant. The speakers that you reference will fit. Follow SoCal's advice and read the thread on this install. You'll need to cut out the existing speakers that are SO CHEAP it's shocking (and disappointing), plastic frame and all. The Alpine and Infinity tweeters will fit into the stock holder on the front door frame with a little ingenuity.

On the equalizer, there is a button to adjust (from 0 to 16), leave it @ 0 (I got this advice from Acapulco Bill). Regards.

I think what I have is the famous Audio 20. I read somewhere that I should be able to access the EQ settings by holding down "Hang up" button on the steering, 1 & # at the same time. Done that many times but not successful. What I have is just Trebble, Bass & Fader settings but no EQ. Am I missing something or I do not have the EQ settings.

HK sound upgrade
Hey I have a 2014 e class w212 facelift with stock speakers (audio 20). I wish to upgrade my car's door speakers and tweeters to harman kardon speakers. I don't want to add an amplifier. I just want to swap the speakers and tweeters. Will I be able to tell a difference.
