Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented speaker is designed for installation in the rear door on either the left or right side, in accordance with the factory audio installation design for the Mercedes ML W164. Its placement in the lower part of the door panel allows for effective sound coverage throughout the cabin while maintaining the proper acoustic stage intended by the manufacturer.

The component is compatible with the wiring harness provided for the Harman Kardon system, allowing it to be connected to the existing loom without the need for modifications. As a result, the speaker can be used both as a replacement for a damaged driver and for restoring the completeness of the factory sound system after previous modifications.

Technical characteristics and integration with the Harman Kardon system

The speaker has been developed for use with the factory Harman Kardon amplifier and sound processor, which translates into properly matched impedance, efficiency, and frequency response. Using an original driver allows for tonal consistency between the front and rear of the vehicle, without the risk of distortion resulting from mismatched parameters.

The housing and speaker basket are adapted for mounting in the factory attachment points within the door trim, which facilitates servicing and reduces replacement time. The use of original mounting geometry minimizes the risk of mechanical resonance and unwanted vibrations of the door trim, which directly impacts acoustic comfort inside the vehicle.

Condition, service application, and benefits of installation

The product is offered as a used item, allowing for an economical repair of the audio system while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. In practice, this means the ability to restore sound system performance without the need to invest in universal sets, which often require additional adapters and interference with the vehicle's wiring.

Choosing a factory speaker for the rear doors of a Mercedes ML W164 ensures:

• compatibility with the electrical installation and the factory amplifier,
• proper mechanical fitment to the door trim,
• preservation of the sound characteristics intended for the Harman Kardon system,
• reduced installation time thanks to the plug-in design replacing the original component.
