Speaker Replacement Suggestions
Even though I will be selling the car in at the end of the summer, I still want to change the speakers.
Anyone have any suggestions. I was going with some Hertz comps, but after researching the shallowness of our stock Bose speakers, I figured it was time for a thread.
What would you guys suggest?

In my current CLK55, I have a 6.5" SoundStream Reference 6.5" driver in the stock location.

if you decide to add another amplifier to run your internal speakers, I highly suggest the purchase of a JL Audio Clean Sweep.
I used to be into all the Focal, Morel, and all the high-end speakers for sound quality, but now all I listen to is pretty much Hip Hop and Rap, so pretty much any brand's top-end components sound good, ie: Sound Stream Reference, JL audio XR, MB Quart Q-Series, Kenwood Excelon, etc etc.

the bose speakers/amp run at 2ohms...(thats why i think they sound good)
You might consider a new amp with your aftermarket speakers, and re-wire.
my 10 year old Bose speakers remain in good shape, no rips, no tears.
Run an aftermarket Head Unit, and those Bose speakers will sing!

Thanks OPAL. . Ive got a clean sweep now paired with my Jl 1000/1 W7. . works great. . Glad yu said MB quarts cause thats what i was leaning against. . still tryna figure which JL amp to use to run the components..? also would you recomend turning our stock sub locations (since my sub is now in the trunk) into the rears. . and if so how should i configure the doors now. . 6 front? or 4 front and 4 rears? thanks again for the inputs. .
