    Rear shelf speakers should be 8"

    Problem is that standard car speakers are 4ohm, Volvo S70 speakers are 8ohm which allows you to run 2 speakers per channel on the radio i.e 8 speakers 4 channels

    I couldnt find 8" speakers for love nor money that werent custom made or costed the earth. I got some speaker adaptors from Nexxia online and bought some nice JBL 6" for the parcel shelf.

    Its a bit of a pain in the S70 you have to take the rear seats out to fit them! It is doable though.

    I managed to get a pair of 8.25" pioneers into my old S70 only pain was the wiring connectors had to be changed and their was only a little bit of wire left from the original wiring,
    I had to cut/break the original platic covers off though to get them to fit,
