Need suggestions on 300sd stereo overhaul

Hey
Since i just acquired a completely stock '84 300SD, it needs a modern stereo and speakers because I like driving it more than my mazda. As far as the head unit I dont think it matters too much as I am not an audiophile and I just need an aux in to plug my BlackBerry in to and go. I need speaker recommendations. I dont want to modify any part of the dash or rear deck to fit speakers and I have been reading conflicting info on actual speaker size. What do you guys run in your SD? On my 420SEL I did have fit issues with the speakers I bought and I dont want that now. Also the factory fader switch is in place. Do I in fact have to bypass it? I rewired the speakers in my old car and it was a mess. Just looking for suggestions so I can be hearing music and not just turbo whine. Thanks
