Changing all 4 Doors Speakers for E250 CGI (W212)

[andylgk]

Dear all,

All my 4 speakers are rattling when volume turn a little up. Time to change.

Anyone know any reliable and reasonable workshop that specialized in changing Mercedes Speakers?

As I understand that need to open up the door panels and also unplug some wirings. And I learn that there are some "clips" in the door panels are are quite fragile.

As such, I am quite concern and would hope to go to an experience workshop (other than C&C who usually arm with a knife to slaughter) who is also specialize in Speakers or ICE. I do not want a situation that speakers rectified but have to face with other electronics or wiring issue on other functions later.

Hope to hear soon.

Thanks.

Yes, I got them changed at an Audio Shop in Ubi with German made brand. Damage at $600 for 6 speakers (including two which are placed inside the panels next to the side mirrors). All 4 door speakers diaphragm broken when the doors panels were opened up. They were made of paper.

Understand this appears to be a common problem for my generation (W212 - 2010) of Merc.

Hi bro, able to share where u install the speaker? mine having the same problem

[andylgk]

German Maestro at Audio Solution (Ubi). 

[Louis]

thank you bro

 

[andylgk]

My pleasure.

Understand they have cheaper alternatives (made in China) at about half the price I think.

Hope the info is helpful. 

[Louis]

Yes , it is very helpful , will be changing the speakers tomorrow !!!

[andylgk]

Great. You can practically sit beside your car (in aircon room) to see them do the job. Takes about 1.5 - 2 hours.

All the best.

Nothing is impossible!

Depending on your budget, you can have many choices & alternatives.

Your I.C.E shop can tap off your higher level speaker output to a sound processor.

To have amp/amps & subwoofer/subwoofers, you need to upgrade your stock speakers too to match your sub/subs.

You may need tweeters too and depending you wanna a 2 way system or 3 way system. i.e 

2 way - mid woofer & tweeter 

3 way - mid woofer/mid range/tweeter

Cheapest is to keep your stock speakers & get an active sub without the need of a sound processor, amp & sub/subs.

Go shop around ICE shops and see what're their  recommendations & quotations.

End of the day is what you want i.e cheap & adequate or a competition sound system or some where between and not forgetting your budget.

Hope I answer your questions!

Stock speakers are those speakers that originally came with your car.
