What model? A 242 coupe, a 244 sedan, or a 245 estate / wagon?
Metra may be the last aftermarket maker of auto radio fitting parts for 240 / 260 for fitting a stereo head unit into the lower or on newer 240 dashes, upper cubby.
Lower Cubby mount in older 240 / 260. This is what you use?

A post to fit speakers in 240:
Front door speakers in 240/260 (sort of blah blah long)
Youtube has many videos on Volvo 240 / 260 stereo upgrades treating fitment.
Before choosing a head unit model, you will want to consider fit of the radio front bezel and bit and how to support the head unit weight at the back end.
Unless you are in Europa or the UK as the dash and center console may be more like that in, say, a 1991 240 in any market.
In the 1979 (1974 to 1980-1981 or so), the stock dash fits the radio above the transmission / driveshaft tunnel hump in front of the transmission lever in the center console. No other option without modifying the dash and maybe the sheet metal.
The cubby is about 2 DIN or rack units in height. When auto radio used two durable shafts let and right, these shafts are what the black bezel secured. The bezel secures to the two front left and right metal center console support the plastic bits, like the kick panels and front control panel secure to.
What do you have have for a radio now? How is it mounted?
Also, how do the current speakers mount? In my former 1979 242 GT, a 4" / 100 mm speaker will fit the profile of the inner door card. On older year front door inner door cards, you could fit a 5" or so speaker. You may be able to secure it to the inner door sheet metal without modification. The speaker must mount securely while sealing the air space behind from the speaker front and the speaker frame must be free to allow resonance.
The rear hat shelf may have a middle speaker hole for a 4" by 6" oval speaker. I'm not sure.
