Question Direct/Drop-in fit aftermarket replacement for 3.5" Center channel speaker (Logic7)?

I've been doing research and found that this center dash channel speaker, which is the most prone to fail, is an odd 1.5 Ohm 3.5" speaker. Even if I could find one matching that impedance, knowing MB's love of oddly shaped and shallow dash speakers, I have had trouble finding a non-OEM (looking to at least improve) one available. Not even crutchfield is able to provide guidance. If I'm going to the effort to replace it, I'd prefer to find a decent one. Anyone have any experience with brands/model numbers that I could pop in without altering the plastic of the speaker frame?

Thanks. I figured that would be my fallback, but since I'm having to replace it anyways I was hoping I could find a better alternative.
