I just bought some 6x9's for my rear, i am hoping to push these with 100 watts each. Somehow my local audio store said they can get the 6x9's in the back deck, so that's cool. But unfortunately I was blessed with only 3.5's in front
I am not sure what else I can do to help out the front, but does anyone have any ideas on what else can be done besides 3.5's in the dash? I will hopefully be buying the Alpine 7977 (dead head), it is a real nice deck with good features. Any opinions, or anything else i can look into?




A guy told me in order to do kickpanels, I would have to relocate the E-brake (600) and the kick panels would be over a thousand dollars. That's not too cool. But it would have been nice to get some focal 165K2's in there somewhere. In the future I'm planning on adding 2 12" Eclipse Aluminum subs, in a plexiglass box, or I have a box design that would look really good, just need to find someone who can make it for me.

The factory 3.5" speakers are on a plate that is 4"x6" so a standard 4x6 will fit in. The other option is a 4" and a tweeter on a plate mounted up from underneath.(tricky job)

so a 4x6 speaker will definately fit? Please tell me that's true.

I use a eclipse 4x6 E and it drops into all 126 dashes.

Thats good news. Do you have a coupe or ever installed in a SEC?

I just had 4" put into my 73 450sl, in the dash. It was tight, but they played with it and they fit. Sound much better than the 3.5" that were in there. I put in Clarion speakers.

I don't have a 126, I have a 92 300 sportline. I have been doing audio installations in all models of mercedes since 1981.
