Why the stock stereo in our w211's are amazing...HK did an incredible job with this system, and the only thing I could even fathom replacing is the stock subwoofer if that.

What audio items are you planning on replacing the stock speakers with? By the way the 10" sub is located in the rear deck lid.

Good, yes. "Amazing"? Hardly. I had a better-sounding stock system in a '93 Altima SE, and currently have a Camry with a mid-price Sony deck, Sony X-plod amp, and Pioneer (6x9) and Kicker (component) speakers that has more power and crisper sound than the HK.

Are you sure the speakers are metal matrix? the tweeters look like cloth to me when I checked them out. The door speakers look like some kind of blue plastic. btw my car is an 08 e350. They probably used the cloth and plastic to cut costs now
