I know this comes up all the time but I've searched the forum and didn't find what I was looking for. I know the later 240's had 5.25" speakers in the front doors and that their odd shape means that the few aftermarket speakers that will fit still require some compromises. So we don't need to go through all THAT again!
Just wondering if anyone has seen possible replacement candidates since this was last discussed? I'm not that into car stereos, but one speaker is dead and the other is on its way out so I'd like to replace them and getting more paper Volvo speakers seems pointless. When I do happen to come across car audio stuff I always take a look to see if anything might work for my 240. While killing time in Wal-Mart today waiting for an Rx to be filled I saw these Pioneers:

They LOOK like they could possibly fit, but I've got a set of Infinties under my desk that looked that way too. If it wasn't about 5am I'd look up the dimensions of the stock speakers and compare.
So anything new out there that fits? If not I'd rather swap door panels and go back to 4" in the front than cram in some odd-fitting 5.25"s. Unless someone has some pics of a nice non-stock setup in the front doors (of any size) that they can share!
Those rear 4"s have to go too! They barely do anything, and mine are riveted in and a bit off from where I'd like them to be based on the look of the door panel. I stuck some 6x9's in the rear deck of my last 240 but I really don't want to cut this one!
