I am wondering whether or not it's possible to retrofit the S80 speakers into my 1998 S70. It seems, from just looking at the openings, that the speakers in the 4 doors, and on the rear deck, are all the same size as those in my S70. And since the S80 has 4x25 (4x50 optional) amplification it's very close to that of my SC-901 (w/ optional amp, not sure on power). Anyone done this? thought about it? any ideas?

Should be easier than installing aftermarkets, too, because they'll have the same wire connectors.

Anyone know about brackets? whether those are the same?



OH and one more thing, anyone know a way to remove the brackets from the speaker baskets in the doors? (Front door, specifically) It seems it should be easy, twist it about 20 degrees and it shouold be free. Problem is I can't seem to twist it at all!

Thanks,
Scott Silverman
