audio speakers

Does anyone know where (other than the local MB dealer) I can find an original front (dash) speaker for a 1990 420
SEL. I am aware that these are far from good quality speakers but prefer to stay original (if possible). Tried the PartsShop but they did not carry them.

Appreciate any input.

Would you consider a recycler(junk yard)? If yes give a call to Potomoc German Auto

If I may ask why would you want to stay original? It is a one way speaker with limited frequency respose.I use an eclipse european 4x6 that sounds 5 times better for $100.00 per set with no modifications to the dash!

Scott@lajollaaudio, do you have any recommendations for speakers that would mount without modification in the dash and doors and rear deck of a `98 C-230?
How about the style Alpine (is that the MB supplier?) CD-changer that would fit in the glovebox of a 2002 C-240? any special mounting hardware or adaptors needed?

On the 98 c 280 there is room for a nice set of 6.5" components in the doors and the dash locations. The rear doors are 4" and the rear deck is a 6.5" although with some creativity you could install 2 8" or 10" subs under the stock grills in the rear package shelf without cutting.

The 2002 c-230 the factory alpine fiber-optic cd changer goes into the glove box and there are no aftermarket soultions at this time. Don't waste your time looking for an adapter that will allow an alpine m-bus cd changer to work.
