W205 C200 Tweeters (Audio)
There is no tweeter in W205 C200 and music sounds fuzzy and dull.
Fortunately there is a recess in the front door (inside where side mirror is mounted) for the tweeters to fit inside.
I have the tweeters installed in a car audio shop and it is over with lack of high frequency. Missing sounds reappeared on the surface.
Proper network of filter is needed to protect the tweeter from the low frequency signal.
In my opinion, it is a reasonable solution.

You don't specify, but is this with the base system rather than the Burmester?
The Burmester has fairly good high frequency response, so I'm assuming this is an issue with the standard audio setup?

Unfortunately I did not take picture when the tweeters were installed.
But I remember how tweeters were added into W205 C class.
I don't know much about the electronics,...
1) 1inch dome tweeter and a frequency is needed. Protection of tweeter from low frequency. (I have no idea about the cutoff frequency. The module is sealed)
2) Disassemble the door panel (Be careful that the pins)
3) After the disassembly of the door panel you can remove the tweeter housing from the door.(Black, Triangular.) When you sit in the seat you will think there is a tweeter in the black plastic part. But there is no tweeter inside.
3) Remove the tweeter housing from the front door.
4) If the tweeter has its own housing, extract the bare tweeter from the housing.
5) Fit the tweeter into the tweeter housing from the car. (The diameter of the bare tweeter was larger than the hole in the housing. Flaps inside the housing was cut and the tweeter is mounted with a glue gun.
6) Use sponge tapes to make the assembly more robust. Wrap the tweeter with sponge pad for sound insulation.
7) Connect the tweeter to the filter (or network)
8) Open some millimeters of insulation of the cable connecting the amp and the front door midrange speakers.
9) Connect the other ends of the filter with the front door midrange loudspeaker by twisting bare cables.
10) Be careful that the phases of the cables are "In-Phase".
11) Use insulation tapes to insulate the connection.
12) Reassemble the tweeter housing on the door
13) Reassemble the door panel.
That is how the work was done.
I am quite sure that there are many audio gurus who have more ideas on
selecting the most adequate tweeters and determine the cutoff frequency of the tweeter.
The procedure is quite straight forward. But it was difficult to describe the process
without pictures.
Sorry for my limited knowledge in electronics and acoustics.

Yes mine is the standard system
