Anyone tried Helix speakers? I just ordered a set from Crutchfield because they said they'd fit my W123.

Thanks

Follow up:

I installed front and rear speakers with no issues. They sound fine, but I'm using the stock head unit, so they aren't very loud.

Bought a Tunelink Auto bluetooth to FM converter so I could use my phone as a media player, and it works great. For anyone looking to bring their car into the 21st century while retaining the stock look, I highly recommend it.

I put a set in the dash locations in my 190E and I'm quite pleased with them. Clear without hyped highs. But you're right; they're not as loud (or warm-sounding) as the stock (Nokia-made?) paper speakers. My car has a Sony head unit installed by a previous owner. I plan a new head unit, new "hat rack" speakers, and a little sub, so I'm not so concerned by the weaker bass response of the Helixes.

Sorry for the extremely late reply/follow-up.

I have a W123 (1982 300D) and replaced the original speakers with Helix Esprit E4X and E5X speakers. The 4" Ex4's drop in as long as you break off one of the four mounting ears.

If I remember correctly, in order to fit the 5.25" E5X's I had to make new mounting holes on the rear deck, and had to ditch the old original grilles. The Helix grilles are pretty discrete looking.

I also changed the Becker for an Alpine 148BT HU.

I work out of my car and need the bluetooth phone connectivity.

I'm very happy with both the speakers and head unit. A bit of noise picks up from the mic when I am on the phone, but I started out with low expectations.

Hoping to install a JL Audio TW3 series subwoofer in the trunk sometime soon.
