I don't know that 6x9s will work without some modification.

Rear shelf speaker fix volvo 850 s70 v70 c70 xc70 will get you started at least.

Also I recall an ohm difference between stock and common aftermarket speakers. Perhaps someone with stereo knowledge will chime in with more info.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

You need 8" round speakers and unfortunately there aren't many to choose from.

Here is how I dealt with a '98 S70 and the audio is all the same.
