I've almost decided to yank out the factory Bose head unit, amp and speakers to get a much nicer system w/ bluetooth, ipod interface, and possibly HD radio/Sirius.

I was checking out the receiver options on Crutchfield and read that the Bose dash speakers were an odd size.
Has anyone replaced the dash speakers, (or the speakers on the front doors by the mirrors) or do most folks just put the main speakers in the doors and call it good enough?

I have not replaced my stock Bose parts, but why don't you have a look at Harmon Karden since that's apparently what MB uses now?

 

Excellent choice for quality, but I think the original speaker size from Bose is off, thus they may not have replacement options that are direct bolt in replacments.
I'll definitely check into them as an option.

Hi Dan,

Ask to sepak to Rick. He is the owner and pretty knowledgeable.

 

I wqas planning on going to the show on Sunday. I'll look for them.
