Re: Alpine Radio in '93 850[850/1993] posted by David Emanuel on

Mark,
Before you go spending a whole lot of money, let me make a suggestion. I own a '94 850T Wagon and apparently have the same unit in my car. When the front speakers started going out, I knew I had trouble and went to the Volvo dealer after not having any luck in my town (Knoxville, Tn). They wanted me to swap my bad unit for a good one and pay them $250.00 plus tax. Ridiculous! After some searching, I found a guy in Atlanta who fixed my unit and sent it back to me for right at $100.00 (shipping included). His name is Ralph Marshall. Below is a copy of the email he sent to me when we started corresponding. It did take longer than the 2-3 days he says below...I think it was more like 10 days. His email address is (unless it's changed):
avs5295@pop.mindspring.com
Good luck,
Dave
