V70 Stereo/DVD: - Replacing stock HU-850 speakers

Badgerpoo · Nov 10th, 2015, 14:58

The right door woofer has developed a really bad distortion, as if the paper cone has come away from the speaker. Is it worth replacing with a direct replacement speaker from somewhere (ebay?) or should I just replace both front speakers with something aftermarket? If so what?

I'd go stock but not the paper ones, go with the woven type fitted to those with the high performance set up (4x50w+dolby) - nearly every S60 or V70 from 2001 to at least 2005 had these

After market would require a bit of jiggery pokery to fit, but then in a way so do stock ones as you have to drill out the rivets and bolt back in (just done this on mine)

Mine is indeed the high power dolby setup, so I guess already has those type of speakers. Did you manage to find replacements on ebay then?
