Thank you for that, but can you explane me what these LHD and P/N mean?

I took the center speaker apart and the speaker is physically okey. The tweeter plays nicely, but midrange makes only a quiet cracking noise. First I go and look maybe someone can repair it.

Another question is that the unit gets really hot during about one hour listening and the funny (not really) part of that is that it doesn't then play own burned and finalized CD's correctly (original new CD worked without problems), although when it's cold, everything works fine. Can the laser be dirty inside and is it a hard work to clean it?

And the last question. Can I change the rear D-pillar speakers with tweeters from this setup? www.dls.se/en/car/prod.html?produkt=en_54

Thank you!

The same problem occured today with a new original CD after playing it for 1-1,5 hours. My questions is that, does anybody know why it doesn't play even original good quality CD's after an hour or two hour drive?

Where can I order the new center speaker? From the local Volvo dealer?

Because it's junk to start with, it's not new and probably needs to be cleaned.
Yes, a Volvo dealer for the speaker
