Response: Newbie question... I'm not sure about how the 126 is arranged on the back deck, but I know the 124 is integral with the body of the car and there is nothing other than the carpet that can be removed!

I read in another thread where upon hard looking, availability for speakers to fit MB's specks may still be available to fit like the originals, which by the way are inferior in sound reproduction to what is available today, less they fit, produce sound world's appart from what was available back in the mid 80's now almost 20 years ago!

The trick is to dampen the loose vibration to a minimum or best not at all. A speacker cannot vibrate the material around it and produce clean quality sound.

I have a Harman/Kardon Traffic-Pro CD-AM-FM-GPS global positioning sat nav, which is made by Becker, and fits all MB's dash's. Even the color plastic matches the rest of the dash. They look like they belong!

The sound quality is measured at 20Hz-20Khz in the CD mode only on this unit, (wish they did this for FM too!) which is the cleanest of amplified sound...in other words, you can turn the volume up all the way full between tracks and you will hear no hum, no nothing.

Good speakers are a must for these values, non of the good speakers fit my 124, so I cut holes in the rear deck, integral with the body of the 124, to acommodate the available sound quality produced by the Traffic-pro. You also need to purchase a seperate amp and bass speakers for the bass response (subwoofer) to bring this player to the starting line with all of the other stereo decks available on the market.

Quite honestly, the sound quality of the Traffic-Pro is not that great compaired with many others. But unlike the others, it does speak German, and other languages, and tells you where to go!
