FS NY: Upgraded 850 Dash Speakers w/S70 Drivers

Post by burnout8488 »

Two 850 speakers I created using S70 parts. They snap right into the 850's dash and won't have the problems the 850 speakers do. (Magnets falling off, terribly fragile unprotected paper cones) The drivers are bonded using plastic epoxy to ensure they do not rattle. All connections are properly soldered.

Overall, a nice plug 'n play mod that completely restores the dash sound if your old speakers are trashed.

Price: $41.46 PayPal'd + Actual Rate USPS Standard Post Shipping from 13760. (Cheapest available)

Thanks!

Edit: It's nearly impossible to remove the old 850 drivers from the mounting brackets without breaking the 4 tiny plastic posts they sit on, as Volvo used glue underneath the driver. (See first picture) This doesn't affect the S70 speaker as they are epoxied in, tightly bonded.
