Location of speakers in an 03 SL500

I believe SL500 comes with 8 speakers with a subwoofer under the passanger footwell is that right ? Recently only the door speakers are working, hence I need to know the exact locations of the other speakers.

If anyone could shed some light on the location, would be great !

Thanks,

PN

There are Two in each door (1 midrange and 1 tweeter).
There are Two behind you, sitting just above where the luggage goes, that are about a foot apart (they are REALLY small support speakers).
There is One that sits in the center of the dash (there are two vents; one is this and the other is a center Ventilation vent).
There is a subwoofer that sits down by the passenger's feet.

BTW, the speakers are crap. I mean paper coned speakers in the 21st Century ???
The only way to get 'presence' out of this system is to crank the treble; however, this gets too bright. I've altered my door speaker (tweeter) so its not as loud... thus, is better.
Next, is to replace that subwoofer cone with a Poly version - I did this on my 98 SL600 and it did help the bass to be less 'muddy'.
