Mercedes E-Class W212 Rear Door Speaker Replacement

[@nv1493]

Great and clear video, I wish more were like this one. No incessant yakking and thank God no background technopop noise. Well done.

[@ZakiGarage]

Thanks! Much appreciated🙏.

[@MB212]

Finally first video for rear speaker here I think 🙏 Had about same idea for this and not I got some inspiration when I going to change the rear speakers 🤘 Not really feels good to undo all rivets.

[@ZakiGarage]

Yeah I was surprised I didn't see any videos about it too. Agree, I didn't want to do those rivets on the door, I would leave the speaker disconnected over removing the rivets 😅

[@kevinsanderson8755]

Great video! this literally saved me a $1000, which is what MB dealer wanted to charge me to replace the speaker.

[@ZakiGarage]

Wow had no idea the dealer takes that much 😱, glad the video helped.

6:31 Are you using old tweeter or new? is that connected with any crossover? local dealer suggests co-ax speaker and I am confused

[@ZakiGarage]

Just putting the old tweeter back on, I dont think I filmed removing it coz it just fell out removing the door cover. I don't know if it connects to a crossover but i think you can find replacements for tweeters on aliexpress that uses the same connector if that's what you are looking for. I don't think these cars come with a co-ax speaker, the factory speaker is a mid-range and so is the replacement I installed.

[@ariarts3883]

This guy in the commercial obviously got where he is by being a good listener. I mean, look at them ears !

[@shiveshgupta3333]

And what about tweeters? How to replace them? Is the new crossover needed to be installed or is the tweeter connection already separated from the mid?

[@ZakiGarage]

I never changed the tweeters, but I think there are plug and play tweeters sold out there.

cool bro.thanks

[@abedsaad640]

Amazing and unique video bro , I have Mercedes s class w221 , all speakers are blown , the rear speaker are the same as the front . Is this aftermarket speaker best fit ?? Does it over heat the Amp ? Best Wattage ? 8 ohm or 4 ohm ?

[@ZakiGarage]

Thanks man. Sorry but I'm not an expert in sound systems so when I came to buy the speakers my only requirement was the size (6.5" for this car) and the speaker type (midrange). I got this brand of speakers because it had really good price + shipping and so far I'm very happy with how they sound and to be honest I never heard of this brand before. They were not 100% prefect fit, a few mm oversize but it wasn't an issue. I don't know if they heat up the Amp. 8 ohm or 4 ohm ? No idea what is better, I just got the 8 ohm.

[@abedsaad640]

@@ZakiGarage yess broo I’m not an expert too , but while I’m searching I find out that 4 ohm speakers maybe will heat up Amp , 8 ohm speakers like yours are better .

[@ZakiGarage]

@@abedsaad640 Very good to know 👍, I'll have to look into that.

[@saadkamran7]

I've ordered DS18 for my e350 with some sound deadning material, I hope it goes well. My OEM speakers are completely blown out or dead and only one is working lol

[@ZakiGarage]

Never tried them, let me know how it goes. I think one of my speakers is starting to fail again 😅

[@saadkamran7]

@@ZakiGarage Yessir, I just got them installed and they are worth it, its a huge change that I felt. DS18 does work and so I was worried about the bigger magnet on the speakers back but they fit perfectly fine.

[@ZakiGarage]

@@saadkamran7 Good to know they work well . ​ Just ordered new speakers last week, thought of the DS18 since you mentioned them but got the cheaper RECOIL. Surprised that the Skars went from 47$ for pair when I got them for the vid to 145$ now.

[@saadkamran7]

@@ZakiGarage Oh yess, I heard lot of good reviews about Skars and they are better than DS18, their bass and sound is truly amazing in the comparison videos, which one did u ordered?

[@ZakiGarage]

@@saadkamran7 trying the RECOIL this time

[@kryptoknight6043]

Dear Sir do you provide this service? I need my E350 cabriolet speakers installed, you are very pro?

[@ZakiGarage]

Thx but sorry I'm not a certified mechanic, I just work on my cars as a hobby. Plus, its very unlikely we live in the same country.

[@kryptoknight6043]

@@ZakiGarage Okay thanks for responding and for great video

[@roziroslan7891]

Which part in UK are U anuway?

[@jozeftimko954]

Hi I also changed in my W212. I want to ask about polarity. The polarity of the new speaker I know. I want know polarity od car radio (amplifier) in your case Yellow Cable is minus and red plus (in connector) thanks for answer

[@ZakiGarage]

If you go to 3:37 the right terminal in the video is (+) and left (-) for both the old and new speaker. So I think I used yellow for (+) and red for (-).

[@jozeftimko954]

[@albradley8334]

Do you have a video on replacing the rear deck speakers?

[@ZakiGarage]

I don't think my car has speakers in the back

[@jazda200]

front speakers have same size ?

[@ZakiGarage]

yeah all same size. have done the fronts in a separate vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4PckH6GftGSe8k

[@asifbarkhiya6753]

The easier way is not to remove the rivets, just cut the speaker casing behind the speaker and solder a new wire for the new speaker..use some screw to hold the new speaker..I think this will make the job easier...just my 2 cents..😁

[@ZakiGarage]

Totally agree with you, didn't think about it at the time.

What was the replacement speaker model?

@@ZakiGarage I heard focals are pretty good, any thoughts

[@ZakiGarage]

Never heard of those brand of speakers. I'm not familiar with any of the brands currently on the market. I was actually looking for speakers from one of the old companies I knew sony, kenwood, JBL, pioneer but didn't find anything.
