Hello all,

I've read through the archives as to different owner's upgrades of their Mercedes sound systems (W124's in particular). Lots of helpful information there.

I have a general question regarding my first sound system upgrade. Is it more beneficial to upgrade to a higher-power head unit and keep the factory speakers for awhile, or upgrade the factory speakers and keep the existing head-unit/CD changer?

Which option would offers better results? I listen to everything from Handel to BB King to Tool.

I'd like to keep the install as unobtrusive as possible, so I'm leaning towards the more stealth look of the speaker-only upgrade, but I'm wondering if the stock system has enough power to make better speakers sound as they should.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
- Ryan
