i believe its a bose i was playing my music a little louder than i was suppose to be i guess now when the bass hits it rattles and when people talk on it its makes that static noise so it has to be gone i just want to replace it and go on with life im going to call mercedes today and see i just wanted to kno if any of you al knew before hand

in all honestly, instead of getting another OEM Bose Speaker from the dealership (only place i could imagine getting one of the same serial number), I'd just take out both back speakers and replace'm with higher quality ones. The Bose speakers put into Mercedes aren't what you'd wanna call "high quality" ones.....just a suggestion though.:D

You cant put aftermarket speakers into a Bose car. The ohms are different so best to replace with OEM.

forgot about that. when i upgraded my system, i replaced all the speakers and the head unit so.....no problems for me :beard:

Its in the back anyways....no point in replacing something better than BOSE which is decent, for the back doors.

But this is not my car so why am I arguing :D

BOSE systems have a lot of clarity in them so why not keep them and add a sub in your car, i would understand if your car was non BOSE then you would upgrade to an aftermarket company like pioneer, kenwood, clarion etc, but if its BOSE and you dont want a lot of stomach turning bass in ur ride, then just add a sub and ur set to go..just my $.002

alright thanx guys i just unpluged the rear one that was blown im thinkin of getting a sub so im just not going to worry about it but thanx...

also does any one know how much it would cost to get the bulb that is in my speedo clock replaced? it just went out not too long ago and it really bothers me at night... is it something i could do my self or do i have to go to the dealership?
