CLK Speakers

[Prodriver]

Hi, I've just bought a CLK 320 2001 '51 (W208) and the front speakers need replacing.

Are there any straight replacements that are worth putting in? There are 2 speakers per door.

If so, what size/model/make would you recommend? (I haven't got the handbook from the dealer yet so I don't know any sizes etc!!)

Cheers
Nigel

Hi Nigel one has to be cereful of the impedance as they are often just 1 Ohm the original speakers are quite good and above average.

I have a standard system and am very impressed with it. Normally, I abhor the standard speakers in cars that I buy and end up replacing the lot with decent quality but for the first time ever, I will leave the speakers. The bass response isn't bad either compared to other OEM speakers.

If I were to replace them, I'd take it to an ICE specialist as they will have worked on CLKs before.

Thanks,

They do sound better than the average standard speakers.

The front left one, however, rattles badly and I think it needs replacing - any ideas where to get one (or probably a pair!) from - apart from a main dealer?

Checked there's nothing dodgy in the side pocket? I used to leave a cable in there for charging a phone and when the plastic part rested against the side of the pocket, the bass made it vibrate like a cracked speaker. Also, check the bass levels aren't too high. They should be on 1 or 2, really.

Just adding that they only come from MB the best way to check the speaker is on a mans voice, with your ear close to the speaker
