[W126 Coupe] Speakers 87-560 SEC

Jonathan, 

I would like to keep the factory Becker 754 unit as my head unit, would you happen to have any suggestions for using the head unit and adding or changing the factory speakers?

The rears are 6.5's, fronts there is no direct drop in...we mod the front speaker housings to hold a 4' mid which then makes the speaker a direct drop in.  Now you also have the other problem of the factory speakers are 2 ohms and anything aftermarket will be 4 ohms..so it never Really sounds all that great.  My advice, if you want to keep it simple get some good factory speakers...these stereo's are really an All or Nothing affair IMHO.


I'm partial to MB Quart Q's and Morels (ONLY Euro Morel, not US!!!)..but each needs external amplification.

Jonathan

I am replacing  the speakers is my 87-560-SEC. Can anyone advice me as to what size or on any  specifics as to what brand or size I should be looking for?  I dont not want to have to cut anything, looking for something I can just swap out with the factory speakers front and rear, keeping it simple.
