Personally, I think that Dynaudio is the best out there. However, Dynaudio speakers will not fit 100% in CLK.

If money isn't an issue then DynAudio blows anything away. I've heard that Focal's rival DynAudio but haven't heard them in person.

But back to reality.....still exspensive but not that bad MbQuart. I've had them in all of my cars. However the next car I get I'm going to step it up to the DynAudios.

thanks for the reply. anyway, what kind of Mb quart are they that would fit in? cause i don't want modified at all in the door panel. I still confuse about the lcd indash aftermarket. is it possible to install them without changing the bose speaker?

It is possible, but you'd have to re-wire every speaker from the new in dash reciever. Until you are ready to change the whole ting out keep the stock headunit/amps because you'll pay too much and not get enough out of it.

MbQuart has several models to fit......from regular coaxial's to full components. It may be easier for you to go to a local stereo shop who sells their products and talk it over with them.

i have a mb quart component set that dropped right into the factory locations without any modding. buy a 3 - way componenet set with a 6 1/2, 4 , and 1 tweeter. that should make a huge improvement in the sound of the stock crappy bose sh#$....

i have the MB QUART Q-series 6.5" components front and rear. I just disconnected the small 3.5" speaker in the rear portion of the door. Gotta use some power to run these speakers as they sound brittle when underpowered.
