I have a '88 300TE that has rotted speakers. The Rainbow speakers are nice but $320-$350 was a bit much. I determined that I needed 120mm in the Dash and 100mm in the two rear doors of the Wagon.

So after a lot of reading I found these Carpower speakers that I "hoped" would fit. I live in the US, getting Metric speakers is pretty much non-existent. The local car stereo guys would be happy to butcher some in for me, but I didn't want to go that route with inch sized speakers "cut in".

I found a place dealing them, they were $89 shipped Fedex Air to the US. $38 of this was the shipping.

Decided to shoot some pix of the Procedure.

The speakers sound Good and the grills went back on fine and my wife is happy, and after all, that's what is most important! The speakers use the same mounting tab system as the original MB speakers, so they just snap in!

I ordered them from Europe-Audio dot com. They were fast shipping, got them in like 5 days after placing the order.

Hope this helps someone!
