I should be removing my old Becker today. If anyone wants it, let me know. I don't want any smoking components on my car. The only thing that should show evidence of smoke is the muffler , not my tape player! I'm just freaked out that that thing will blow up. It is really broken.

Anyway, I just purchased the following for my 89 300E:

Sony CDX-MP70 - Head Unit w/ CD & MP3 player
Infinity Kappa 42.3i 4" 2-way Speakers - one pair of them for the front

I am just going to stick with 4 speakers for the car, 2 front, 2 back, unless someone can convince me a sub is worth it. I play lots of classic rock and lots of U2. U2 has got tons of bass, but I don't need Bono shaking my tail lights.

But, I am having a problem with back speakers. First off, I thought the rear speakers were 5.25 in, not 4. If they are 4, let me know. Whatever size they are, what are the best speakers for the rear that can have some nice bass to make up for a lack of a sub. Again, some nice bass is ok, but I don't need to annoy all cars with a 50 foot radius of mine while at an intersection.

I appreciate any help. This is turning out to be a good amount of $$, but I will be driving the car, at least, next year through my senior year in high school, and there will be lots of music playing from here until graduation next year. My 300e is approaching 300,000 miles and I'm putting money into it. Don't ask why, I have no idea. I would prefer to spend money on some nice new 16'' wheels with michelin pilot sports then spending money on 4'' speakers !!!

Again, thanks in advance!
