C70 Suggestions for Replacement Speakers

[Shevek]

Hi All,

I have a C70 '04 plate with the Premium Dynaudio 13 speaker ProLogic, SC901, 4x100 amp setup

I have unfortunately blown the passenger door woofer.

How easy is it to source a Dynaudio replacement?

If not, what size is it for a replacement?

Any suggestions for similar quality brands?

TIA

I'd look for one that's being broken mate, coupe or convertible, GT spec, as the standard speakers are the nuts.

If you are after pure sound quality Focal are the mutts

Be careful though, you will want to do them all and they ain`t cheap

As you've had a C70 GT spec Rik, how do they compare to the dynaudios? are they that much better? I find the standard system set on pro logic is quality, and made me realise how bad the standard Cougar speakers were.

I have loads of these spare in my shed. Is it the big round 6 inch one?

Focal are different league Steve, I have them hidden away in the Cossie (only four inch but they sound amazing) Dynaudio are good for oem but there is much better out there if you want to spend

I think that's the size... There are different ones though, the GT spec (like mine) have high end Dynaudo speakers...

Volvo C70s all had dynaudio AFAIK

Would you be willing to sell to me?

I've done some further research and it's the 8" speaker that I need - part no 3533793

I'll have a look. These are the ones from the bottom of the doors?

None of my volvos where close to as good sound quality as my C70 was.

I had Focal's in the front of the S70. Running on a dedicated 2 channel Alpine amp. They set me back over £300. You have to spend quite a lot to get something better than the standard set up.

Would these be a good replacement?

Sorry it slipped off the radar - I'll try to remember to have a look.

I found running a quality sub and taking the low frequency sound away from the OE speakers a good way of adding clarity to the sound and giving the potential to turn it up a fair bit more. Good aftermarket headunit is also a must.

Isn't the big 8inch ones at the rear of the car and not in the door

This is what I have found from various places:

Convertible & Coupe:

Pair of 1 inch tweeters in the dash and either the Dolby centre speaker or Road Traffic pod in the centre
4 inch mid and 8 inch bass in each door

Convertible:

1 inch tweeter and 6.5 inch mid bass in each side panel
9 inch sub in each rear seat (option I think)

Coupe:

pair of 1 inch tweeters and 8 inch bass in the parcel shelf

This is from various posts and wiring and parts diagrams across the 'net
