[W126 Coupe] Speakers 87-560 SEC

[Edward Chin]

Really, with the stock head unit, go with stock speakers.  The stock
headunit, amps, and speakers are weird enough, that you can't save any money
AND get anything nice; you either get something crappier for a little less
money, or something slightly better for a LOT MORE money.

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.

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.
