Has anyone ugraded the stereo on the E 55??? I upgraded mine but the front high's seem to sound louder than the back for some reason. I put the amps after the factory amplifier. Should I take the Factory amp out and can I ????

Your gonna have one hell of a time changing out the HK speakers. The system really just needs bass IMO. Add a JL audio sub and amp and you should be fine. The HK logic 7 is one of the best out there on the road.

Putting in a quality sub with amplifier makes a huge difference.
It will not be state of the art, but great bang for the buck.

Any reputable Mobile Audio shop can replace the factory speakers and add amps & subs. My 1st mod was to replace the weak POS Harmon Kardon system.The factory subwoofer is history and the opening allows bass into the car from the trunk. I will be posting pics of my new beast real soon.

1st post yeah!!!!
