I am a little confused on this one. I rec'd my car expecting a sweet HK stereo with 12 speakers. the i look into the grills on the back door and there are no tweeters. Mb is vague on the website when it comes to the stereo for the e350 but for the e55 it is very definite. did i ASSUME too much?

also for 2006 is the nav system all gray colors? the guide book shows bright coloring.

anyhow there car is sweet beyond that. had 6 miles when i got it and now has 200 so far so good.

The HK audio system is optional equipment and, for '06, comes as part of the 526 or 626 "Premium Package." Both packages also include navigation, so if you have navigation, you should also have the HK system as part of the same package.

Sweet.

but i do not see 12 speakers, i do have that package. i feel i ordered smething i did not get. i see the hk name on the front door speakers and the logic 7 in the stereo screens. my questions is regarding the actual placement of the speakers.

i know a bit about stereos and such and when i look at the rear door speaker grill i only see the larger speaker of the two. can someone who also has a 06 check to see if theirs is the same?

is the harmon the same in the 350 as the amg?? i am believing it is not.

Go Listen to one with the basic radio. They are worlds apart! Then you'll know & it won't matter what you can see.

if you saw empty holes would you not be pissed. so is there a hk marking on the rear doors??

I could have been me, but my non HK 2005, and my HK 2006 dont sound that much different. Of course the '06 did come with one blown speaker

Barry45RPM

It wouldn't sound any better than the base radio, if there are components missing! If it sounds great, Its all there!

Let me know what you find. I am about to take delivery on a car w/HK system from a dealer in Seattle.

Pacific NW Guy

is something is missing. i got my car direct from the factory since we have family in the company. i will look into tit all again but i am pretty sure it is off.....the sub is there, is that there on the base stereo?

just because you do not see something it doesn't mean that it is not there...the front tweeters are easy to spot - those are in the upper triangle at the mirrorbase...the rear tweeters are not vissible from the outside - those are hardly vissible from teh rearside of the doorpanel either (once the doorpanel is off)...those rear tweeter sit slightly higher then the main doorspeaker...

and no - the sub is not longer there with the base soundsystem (that has been removed from 05 and up or something like that).

greetingz,

did this guy just say tit?????

Pacific NW Guy

i was typing that with one hand at the time.....

anyhow if you read my other post i was right, the speaker was missing....
