Newbie in need of audio help

[morton.tony1]

Hey everyone. I just got my 1st car ('89 Benz 300TE) but the speakers are blown. I'm currently using everything stock, and a cassette->AUX adapter to run my MP3 player. I'm a fan of music, and loud music at that, and blown speakers make me cry. It's an older Benz, so everything is in metric, like the dash speakers are 100mm >.

Sony XplMd™ XS-GT1327A 5-1/4" 2-way car speakers - Features & Specs at Crutchfield Outlet (for rear doors)

If those things are really crappy and not worth my money, please tell me. I just found cheap replacements for my crap system. If you have other product suggestions, please tell me, I just need to stay

Welcome to the forum morton. pm me the links and I'll put them up for you if it's not letting you post them.

And my one bit of advice is do INSANE amounts of research before you buy and get as much input as you can. Congrats on the car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You will want to stay away from brands like Dual and Boss. Their stuff is cheap and it shows after a while when things begin to stop working //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I've got a nice older sony head unit I could sell you for cheap and there is a deal going on right now at Audiosavings for Cadence components for only 39 dollars. The model number of the sony is CDX-M7815X. I had it installed in my parent's car and they never used it and has been sitting in the box for atleast 3 or 4 years. I could let it go for 110 shipped.
