Removing speakers
I'm going to be removing the speakers from my 940 door-cards and wondered the best method ? It looks like they are riveted in place.
Also what have people replaced the Volvo ones with ? Car is a 1996 940 estate Cheers, Mark

Some are riveted, others are screwed in place Mark.
The average "generic" 5 1/4" or 13cm speakers seem to work well, i used some coaxial ones in mine, can't think of the brand but it was a budget price pair and sound ok to me. They were the same as or very similar to : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004BDRYJM However, you may also find you need : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-740...5/290388292676 Fairly self-explanatory once you've removed the old speakers and are about to fit the new ones! If you have a good imagination, you may be able to see why you need those once you've removed the grille/cover. Enjoy your new tunes!

Yes, mine were riveted and had to drill them out. Did it once the door card was off. Bob.

I fitted a Focal 165AS kit in the front and Focal 130AS kit in the back of my 940 estate. Sounds a hell of a lot better than the thoroughly dead paper cones of the old ones that were in there. I needed to enlarge the cut-out in the front door frames by about 30mm to accept the larger rear magnet and while I could probably modify them to fit, I haven't been able to reinstall the front speaker grilles (back ones are fine). I modified the factory dash mounted speakers to accept the focal tweeters and mounted the rear tweeters in some second hand, oem D pillar mounts. The only real problem is that it can't go up too loud without causing all the various bits of 25 year old plastic in the car to start vibrating!
I've only got a Halfords cheapo Sony head unit but I have all my music on a usb stick and then have my phone tethered to it via bluetooth for hands free. If I ever wanted to I could run it all from discrete amplifiers in the boot but that's not particularly high on the priority list!
