I bought some off Amazon - Nothing special but try and match the impedance if you can. They are often quite low (2 Ohm or 4 Ohm I think?) and this means they're easier for the amp to drive. Chuck in higher and the amp will work harder to power them and then you risk damaging the amp earlier.

I bought these cheaper ones for the rear doors I think - Note they are NOT oval but clearly round! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001MWX0SY/

I bought higher quality for the front but can't find the link. Same size though and as low as impedance as you can. The cheaper crappier speakers won't be low enough.

As mine didn't ever work when I got the car I don't know how much worse/better they are but the stereo sounds amazing now. I do have the optional Volvo sub too - so bass is not lacking in the slightest.

FRF Swansea did offer me a great reduction on the price of genuine Dynaudio - but this is an old car now. Speakers worth nearly half the cars value just didn't make sense to me but may to others?

All the best

Thanks, yes I spoke with Simon at FRF and the best price for the original speakers was over £800 as they had to be ordered in from Sweden. I still haven't ordered anything as I've just not had the time.

So today I got around to having a look at it, from what I can see 3 of the four main door speakers have had it. I bought (at Oak's suggestion) a pair of rear door speakers and I've ended up only replacing the n/s rear main speaker, the parking sensor is nice and loud again now (as a by product). The front's are still only playing through the dash speaker and the two tweeters so I've got to find two replacement speakers for those as well yet. Thank's Oak, you've saved my sanity.
