Hey gang. I just installed a Kenwood Excelon X994 stereo in the Merc, and I want to follow up with Kenwood speakers. I just wired up the whole speaker system, bypassing the Premium Sound package. So I need advice from the sound gurus on 4", 6 1/2", and 6 x9's. any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not going crazy with amps, and such, but I would like a clean sound for when I crank it up. BTW, I love the Bluetooth feature of this unit, but it was a little unnerving the first time a call came through. I thought the stereo took a shit, till I hear my wife's voice over the speakers. LOL

if you want the best sound quality, polk DB series, alpine, jbl, MBqaurt are all excellent speakers, allthough i implore you the polk DB series are probably the best ive heard so far.

My alltime favorite car speakers were Infinity Kappas, not cheap, but midgrade speakers do = midgrade sound.

Although midgrade looks good from where I'm currently sittin'...

factory JBL speakers in the back work well for me. cheap too if you find them in the junkyard.

I like the Boston Acoustics I have in the dash too.
