Front door speaker V70-XC70 1998

Not getting any sound out of the right door speaker, I pulled off the door panel and took a look. Well, the speaker is blown. If I touch the cone just right it works, If I turn the volume waaaay up it works but sounds really bad.

I don't listen to the radio much and am not an audiophile, so the OEM speakers are just fine.

Before I call the dealer, gulp, and hear his price, gulp, where else should I look for a speaker that drops right in? I would prefer to stay with OEM but Ebay has none.

    Are they the same as the ones from the 850s? I blew my front passenger door one (they don't like being turned up loud for long durations, the pins pushed through the cone and started distorting badly) and replaced from pick-n-pull. $5 for a speaker that's OEM which works just as well as the rest of them.

      850 speakers don't work, mounting points are wrong. My local pick&pulls only go to 1997, and even the 850s are few and far between.

    Hola Klaus,
    I have a speaker from the driver side if you are interested: It came from 1998 V70, just pay for shipping charges. My zipcode is 60804.

    KlausC,

    You have always been great helping out on these cars.
    My only sugestion is to take the speaker with you to BB or what ever sound shop you go to.
    Match the speaker ohms (4, 6 or 8) and the hole mounting as well as the speaker thickness.

    John...

      "speedy" or "hf65" came to my rescue. He is parting a 1998 and had a left front speaker to give me. Along with a seat switch and rear courtesy light.

      Well, what a shock! The left and right door speakers have different part numbers! The brackets are just a little different so they cannot be swapped.

      Never say never to me. I took my dead speaker and learned how to take the bracket off without breaking things:

      remove the foam ring. I started with a small section using a thumb nail, then pulled it off carefully and hung it up out of the way.

      Some of the glue from the foam ring seeped between the bracket and speaker. PBBlaster will soften up glue, and with the straw, gets in the tiny slot around the entire bracket.

      Then slide the bracket off.

      Do the above to the other speaker in 1/2 the time, and put the good speaker on the right door bracket with the connector in the proper place.

      I now have a working passenger front speaker!!!

      Thank you Humberto,

      Klaus

      Best Buy is last resort. This speaker has 3 mounting spots, 2 are plastic nipples and one torx screw through a special bracket. I just love the design engineers, they make it so that installing non OEM gets messy. I really don't want to have to drill holes in the door.

      I am waiting for a Craigslist guy who is parting an S70. But I don't know what to offer.

          Thanks! I read that article a few years ago and was really impressed. My V70 has an SC901 but the normal USA speakers, the Dynaudio are a bit expensive.
