speaker replacement 850 1996

Hi All,

My driver side dashboard speaker cuts in and out periodically. I think the speaker is broken. The dealer has quoted me $62 for the replacement speaker. Has anyone replaced/upgraded the dashboard speakers with name brand speakers? If so, what brands and size did you use? If I can help it, I want to replace the speaker with little or no modifications to the speaker connections or mounting platform. Thanks in advance.

thomas

The dealer speakers are worth the extry money. All 850's use a 8 ohm speaker to
get better sound quality than the usual 4 ohm used by most other car makers. It makes a huge differance.
All the aftermarket speakers if ever seen are 4 ohm. they will work, but you will notice a differance.

Here's a URL of a guy documenting his audio upgrade.

I've never heard dynaudios, but they're the drop-in upgrade for Volvo.
