Hey guys...a quick thanks for all the help you provide. I just bought my new (old) mercedes a few months ago, and this forum has been extremely informative for a novice like myself.

I want to hear my own music in the car, but the original Becker radio is too cool to remove. I want to use an Ipod and FM transmitter so I can still enjoy the aesthetics of the Becker and the selection of my Ipod.

The original speaker system consists of 1 speaker centered in the dash. That is still original and is blown. I'm going to attach pictures later today. My questions are:

1) How do I change the speaker? What tools do I need?
2) What size/type should I use?
3) Are there other easy changes I can make (extra speakers) to enhance the sound quality in the car?
4) If I can't do it, do you know of any audio shops in the NC area (Charlotte) that do good work?


Thanks ahead of time for all the consideration. I really appreciate your responses.
