I have heard that the wiring is already in the D-pillar for the speakers. Can anyone tell me what colour the wiring is and the procedure for fitting? Is it easy?

The socket should be hanging free for you to just plug straight into...

Why are they crap???? I am just about to buy some!Originally Posted by BlackBeast
I sometimes have the kids' friends in the 7 seater bit and I notice when I fade the speakers to the back , so I HAVE to hear what the missus is saying (god they do go on!) they become crap in the top range, so for that reason, that's why I am looking at them. I have got a bid in for ebay at the moment but PM me with a price as I am bound to loose the bid , I always do!Originally Posted by BlackBeast
By the way, dogs do enjoy music, my mate has his listen to the clash just before it savages children and old pensioners in the park! ;-)
I noticed there is a bit of foam stuck on the back where the speaker holes are in the rear light cover, this has to be removed ? Does it not? Or the you cant hear the tweeters. Or do you just remove enough to hear the tweeter?Originally Posted by BlackBeast

Right got the speakers in but only one has sound coming from it. Checked it on the other wire and it's ok and works fine. SO it can only be the wire itself (HELP!) or could it be the ISO connector to Volvo loom as it has a SONY XRC-210 radio cassette shortly to be changed to one of the following:
ALPINE 9850i wrong colour in the dash
SONY MEX-R5 - would look ok
NAKAMICHI CD300/500 - 300 good / 500 will look like OEM and sound stunning
or if I am tight on cash
SONY CD-GT300 as it would look good in the dash
All will sound great apart from the Nak and the Alpine , they should sound superb.
Any ideas on the wiring, does the d-pillar wiring go back to the rear door speaker and crossover or does it go back to the stereo itself?
Any ideas on the Head Unit, the Alpine is Silver and will look silly , although sound amazing, I don't think they do it in Black.

Hi,
You can`t beat a Pioneer of sound qaulity !!!!!
1996 850 T5 AWD - Self tuned M4.4 ECU with COP`s, B5254T ( S60R internals in a 850 block ) ostrich 2.0 , VXR injectors @ 3.8 bar, K24 turbo with a 6+6 compressor wheel, 3.25" MAF, top mounted Dump Valve, RN Exhaust manifold, 3" downpipe with 200 cell cat, 2.75" Stainless exhaust, Brembo calipers, S60R brake discs, stainless RIP kit, 3" Throttle body,
I thought of Pioneer , but some of them look so cheap, and I want it to look subtle in the car and superb sound quality, not powerful. If I want that I will do the 4 channel amp route. That's why at the moment Nakamichi CD500 is top of the wanted list.Originally Posted by oblark
