so far not much I have found in 6.5 inch that will fit according to the sites that I HAve looked at.

I have 5.25's in car now but I want to put bigger back in.

Which location? Doors ?

I'm not sure on the S70. My S60's have 6.5".

I went with Sony xPlod series replacements. They are budget speakers but really sound great for the money.

Also, the Volvo mounting bracket can be removed and you might be able to mount directly to the door for more size.

The front doors is where I need them.

The speakers in the front doors are mounted on stilts. I can't mount them to the door directly. Unlike any car I have ever seen.

I need to take a pic cause it's hard to explain. I am not sure how any speaker will sound correctly the way they have these arranged.
