'96 855R Replacement Speakers

Post by velophoto »

Hi there,

I bought this car used a few months ago... so sorry that I don't know the nuances between the stereo systems from model to model. :)

Since the 855R is the flagship model, I'm guessing it has a stereo to match. The speakers are kinda gone, evidenced by the bass rattle. I like my music loud, but not earth-shakingly so, and mine rattle kinda bad- so time to replace!

So I want to replace the speakers, but continue to use the stock headunit. Could someone please fill me in on what sizes and impedance to look for? I saw a similar post, but it was for a sedan GLT. Mine is a '96 855 R. I checked Swedespeed and Volvo speed too with no success... but I did see that my car has 8 speakers total.

Thanks in advance for the help! BTW, the info I got from you guys a few months ago during pre-purchase helped me walk into this absolutely amazing car.

-Jay
