Does anyone know where the rear speaker should be placed.. I know that where thi wires start

but don't know where they end and what the dimentions of the rear speakers should be..can anyone help?

BTW If any Volvo service fits you a new door window..check the stereo..they might forget to connect the speaker..they've done it to me...

They did the same to me! Replaced the electric window mechanism under warenty, but forgot to reconnect the speaker! All the lose wires were rattling around inside too!

the wire i think comes out in the rear seat store box thingy the 1 on each side (pop up the little square ) and you will find a screw thats where the speakers go also you can get some that go above on the trimmings-- i think thats right

For easy removal of this storage box, I recommend to remove the backseat. There is a hole, large enough for a (Philips) screwdriver to release the screw of the storage box. Then you can insert the speakers, unless you have the speakers for the side walls.

Hi Mate!Ive been really picky about my sound system in my Turbos.To get to my (yellow) rear speker side wall wiring I just removed the rear side grilles covering the speakers!!!!But the wiring does run down the centre of the car.They are 5 1/4" size but in order to get,say Bose ones like mine to fit,you'll have to hack a bit of the trim away!Just for info,Its 6 1/4" in the front doors which can be hack sawed out larger a BIT!the problem is that all 4 corners of the speakers need a hole to screw into,there will be a need for a brace of some kind (DIY) to stop speakers rattling.Finally,phew!,I would strongly suggest a Sub in a box in yer boot,if you dont mind giving up the boot.I put an Alpine 15" Sub in mine.Oh and cross overs so you can have those cute little tweeters on the top corners of your dash.Well worth it,the 480 with that lot in sounds absolutely superb.Get all yer gear 2nd hand from Freeads and there ye go!Im on 07771 633289 if u need any help okay?!

And I need your help once again...Due to my problems with understanding where I should place the rear speakers, I was helped by MatBat by him sending me a photo. Now I know why I couldn't find any sign of speakers on the sides of the back seat..simply there is nothing in my 480...
Once again I turn to you wise people, where shall I place them..as the wiring is original and comes out just behind the back seat on its sides??????
Thnx
