[W126 Coupe] Becker & Speakers for sale

[Axel Wulff]

Updating the speakers may be difficult.

When I removed the Becker system from my 1990 SEC (10-speaker set-up), the 
speakers were clearly marked 2 Ohm, and most aftermarket speakers are 4 Ohm.

Finding speakers that fit in the OEM loactions is difficult enough, add in 
that they have to be 2 Ohm and you could be looking for replacement speakers 
for a very long time.
