If anyone can find some speakers for sale at the right price I may try it out but I think we are SOL.

so did you retro fit the 3d amps or wire the 3d speakers to aftermarket amp? I'm in the process of doing my audio now and I can't decide what route to take.
The 3D Speakers were wired to the Burmester amplifier, but there were difficulties with the 3D Subwoofer as it has its own amplifier which I couldn't connect to the Burmester amplifier, so the 3D Sub was connected to the aftermarket amplifier. If you're doing similar you should connect a twoddle to the amplifier in order to control the bass as this isn't really affected by the command sound settings.

What prevents you from buying the original parts and doing the same procedure?

I installed these yesterday and I agree; I think they sound better; cleaner crisper highs and higher gain. I felt I needed to dial back the treble on the EQ a little. However I also agree it could all be in my head... Visually they are impressive in any case. Thanks for the video, much appreciated.

Awesome! Glad you like. I've now had them for a couple of months and it was definitely worth the money to me.

Did you order from the same place or somewhere else?

I purchased my set from mb-special-offers on ebay. I ordered before I saw your post which would've saved a little money and instilled a bit more confidence in the process.

How pleased are you with them so far?

for my non-3D w222. The link is below. I will post a review when I receive the speakers and install them. So far communication with the seller has been very good.

http://www.dhgate.com/product/2pcs-n...397207964.html

EDIT: I am very pleased with this order. If anyone wants to purchase one let me know. They can offer a special price and you can use Paypal instead of providing credit card information through DHGate. He is also attempting to sell it off of Amazon.com (at my suggestion) since he has a sellers account.

Final install pictures:

I figured they would not sound any worse or degrade the overall sound quality but I am surprised at how much better they sound over stock... it may be some placebo effect but I am VERY happy wih it

I think the standard Bermester system sounds good, just wanted that look of the tweeters to compliment the ambient lighting and seems like I'm about to get that now. I'm so excited and thanks for the great post.. it's like the only thing on the interwebs that addresses this option. Good Job!

Thanks! I wish the system had more bass and overall I'm not impressed with the sound... the speakers New definitively sound better (IMO) and Modulus concurred.

Did you order from the same place as me? Just curious where people are ordering them from...

How do you know the S class tweeters will fit and work in the E?

Yes I did. I actually discovered it there before I discovered this forum. Didn't order until I read your review, it gave me the confidence to order them.

i didn't order the S Class tweeters. They have the E and C class ones there as well. I ordered the E class one even though they all look alike but I'm sure there are probably a little different in sizes.

Thinking about these for my MY18 S class. With 64 colors, will these work with the 2018 S class?

I doubt it but you could reach out to the seller, Nick. Please mention this post/thread.

hey man I just got these from nick. My guy installed them and they rotate in and out but they are not lighting up with ambient lighting is there anything I need to do differently or have him check? He tried decoding the lighting system and flashing it but that didn’t work.

i didn’t do anything anything special... plug and play. As with all electronics you should try unplugging everything and cycling power (car off-car on) just in case there are any little bugs or something. If they still don’t work have Nick send you new ones.

Need some assistance with install. My speakers had 2 blue (male/female) plugs for (2wire) audio connection, it seem the ones posted by Ksellers10 had a single black plug.

The install instructions here http://www.gzcarphone.com/installati...ry-tweeter_n24
state to use Mid-range (door panel speaker) as pass through connection with my male/female plugs for new speakers. This leaves original connector for tweeters not used. Note Ksellers10 seem to have only 1 black female connector which I believe he had connected to original male (yellow) tweeter plug, which leaves Mid-range speaker as per original setup.

Any thoughts on this?

I like the concept, but not $600 worth. For $360 I’m nearly twice as interested. More compelling if somehow my stock tweeters were damaged...
