Speakers and ABS/TRACS 850 1996

i would like to install some new speakers in my 1996 855 wag what is the max size for the front and rear without modding the door shell? what is the max with modding thee shell? i read at volvospeed that i can fit 5.25 in the fronts with minor mods but how about the rear doors, same thing? i have a sotck headunit which is working well with the changer in the glovebox. how about the speakers on the dash and the rear pilar how big are they? what would you suggest for speakers i was thinking alpine or sony.

the second thing is the abs tracs lights i went to the dealers and they said that i needed a new module, the codes were 314 324 and 214, which stood for left, right, and all wheel sensors which mean the control unit is bad. According to the dealership it will cost 1 grand to fix and the control unit is out of stock, no more until next year. how much does a new one usually costs? will it fix the problem or do i need wheel sensors too? i have been told and have read that it is a common problem in the 1996+ 850's and the s/v70's. some one told me it was a ten minute job. are there any other suppliers that sell the abs modules? my car has around 250K is it bout time for a new module? sorry for the lengthy post!

thanks in advance
