My new door speakers

andy27168 · 16-07-2008, 10:18 PM

Hi,
I bought some complete door builds with speakers for my W202, I bought them then thought twice as I would have to ruin my original door panels to fit them but I took the plunge and had them fitted, after nearly a year since buying them.
The speakers themself are MB Quart, and behind the grill is 2 subs, 1 mid, and if you look on the internal door mirror trim is a tweeter which mounted similar to a ball joint, allowing you to point the speaker in your desired direction.
I do like them and they sound superb, but i,m interested in what the forum think, have a just ruined a set of C43 Leather door panels.

look reaqlly nice, not ruined them in my opinion, mb quartz are good speakers, nice little setup there.

Looks like you have done a nice job.

Good luck trying to grab any coins that fall inside door pockets

I think they look great....how do they sound ?

Where did you get them from ?

Hi,
Thanks for positive comments. The remaining pocket is small but I only ever use it for my work car pass anyway.
They are from a German company and they do similar solutions for many other cars too. I,ll post the link when I get home as it is saved on my home PC (i,m on work one atm).
I actually bought mine from a ICE supplier/installer in the New Forest called U.I.C. (Ultimate in Car). The owner of the company had a C43 many years ago when I first got my C230K, and when my car was having some work done I drooled over his C43 and he showed me these door builds that he was going to put in.
Well many years later after I bought my C43 I went to see him thinking he would have the best solutions for stereo/speaker upgrades having owned one himself (he now has a "04" C32 and a Ferarri). Well after chatting for a bit he dissappears and comes back with the very same door builds that he had shown me years before, he had never fitted them.
Well I paid £250 for them which was everything I needed to install them apart from Dynomat (3.5 rolls of Dynomat Extreme) and a suitable amp, the speakers were 2 ohm so I had to source a 2 ohm stable amplifier, which I got from E-bay, Kicker Comp. 200/2.
They sound superb but shows up how bad the rear speakers are and I have to have them faded out.

I think they modernise the look of the car, they don't look bad at all. Did you have to send your door cards or did you buy new ones from them?

Hi,
Just remove your door pocket and these builds replace them, If you check out the link it shows what is supplied

A worthwhile and tidy addition. There's nothing quite like great sound apparently coming from nowhere.

Except now I'm getting itchy to pick up the SL!
