Function
Single Dash Mounted Speaker for Mono Radio
There are approximately 10mm tall cylindrical spacers at all four corners of the single dash mounted speaker. This keeps the speaker from interferring with the heater controls. In the front there is also a special tab at each corner that holds the front end down. The rear has two screws that go through the holes and into the sheet metal nuts that clip onto the two little 'Towers left and right.

Dual Kick Panel Speakers for Stereo Radio
If your car was originally equipped or had a dealer installed Becker stereo radio, it should have had two small square black speakers installed on the front kick panels. These speakers were available from Mercedes-Benz for any model that had a stereo radio installed.
The stereo speakers were mounted low on the front kick panels. Stereo was an option by 1969 on these cars. The speakers are black and square in shape and are mounted on the surface on the kick panels.
The l&r kick panels in late-model 280 SLs have large holes in the sheet metal that allow for speakers. They're underneath the leather/tex coverings.
