About the MATCH UP C42 MB-FRT

Alexander H.

Traditionally, if the speakers went bad in your Mercedes-Benz, replacing them with aftermarket speakers wasn't the easiest installation around. MATCH by Audiotec Fischer offers a convenient solution with this UP C42 MB-FRT 4" component speaker system. MATCH's installation is hassle-free, thanks to 4" woofers designed to fit the original mounting position in your doors and 1" silk dome tweeters made for direct-fit installation in your vehicle's factory tweeter housing.

German quality

What better for your German-engineered car than a German-engineered sound system? MATCH's handcrafted speaker design is precision-built using the latest technology and materials. To minimize distortion, the woofer uses a special magnet structure that efficiently dissipates heat and promotes extreme accuracy. The dome tweeter's coated silk construction brings a natural smoothness to the high frequencies.

Fine tuning

MATCH built the compact crossover with a frequency curve and filtering designed specifically for your Mercedes. MATCH has also given you plenty of leeway in the power department, as these components handle up to 60 watts RMS. You'll be knocked out by the sound of these speakers even if you're powering them with your original Mercedes radio, but they'll perform on a completely new level when powered by an outboard amp.

Installation note: To ensure that this direct-fit speaker system is compatible with your Mercedes-Benz, please enter your vehicle information or call an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000.

Grilles are not included; the factory grilles should be suitable for most applications.

Features

Mounting: The included UP S4MB-FRT woofers and UP S1MB-FRT tweeters are direct, snap-in replacements for the factory drivers in select Mercedes Benz vehicles. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.

Wiring: This system's woofers have the same plug as the factory woofers, so each factory harness plugs directly into the new woofer. The tweeter crossovers' 12" input wires are terminated with the same plugs as the factory tweeters, so the factory harnesses plug into the crossovers. The new tweeters then plug into the other side of the crossover housing.

Crossovers: The woofer crossovers are integrated into the woofer baskets and the tweeter crossovers are separate in-line components. A switch on each tweeter crossover allows attenuation of the output level; choose 0 dB, -3 dB, or -6 dB.

Crossovers Dimensions:

  • Width: 2¾" (3¼" including wire)
  • Height: ¾"
  • Depth: 1⅜"

Q
Does it make the overall sound louder? Regardless of the quality of tone

A
Yes. They are able to take more volume without distortion so in that way they are de facto louder than stock
ruvim  Sep 09, 2021
A
No. It makes it sound more clear. To make it louder you need to amplify them. But be careful. They are only 4" big. You should cross them over and add a little 8" woofer. Good luck
bucci  Sep 09, 2021

These are definitely not worth the expense. I made the mistake of installing these in the front door, and the two ways in the rear, and they actually make the sound worse. The tweeters are so shrill at every setting, even after a line output converter and amp install. They will only handle the power from the factory head unit, anything else will overpower it. I ended up switching to 4" speakers Rockford Fosgates (3.75" cutout diameter) and have been much happier with the sound for 1/5 the price. It takes a little extra work to install, but very worth it. If you have to use a pop-in replacement, I would look at another brand.

I installed them with an amplifier and now the are louder and a lot better quality.
luis m  Sep 06, 2021

I needed a subwoofer to make it better . after that, the sound was better

Q
Do I need to add an amp?

These will not handle a lot of power. These appear only able to handle the power of the factory head unit, and work as a very slight upgrade over the stock speaker. Tweeters are bright and overpowering at any setting. Spent several days working with these and a couple different amps trying to improve the sound in our GLC with an LOC, amps, etc. Changing to another speaker brand was the only thing that worked.
