sound system S70

I'm thinking about updating the sound system in my s70, the stock system has NO bass. is it possible to put 6X9 speakers in the rear deck? aren't the stock ones 6" rounds? has anyone else upgraded their system, what speakers did you go with?

    Look for an older thread on the Dynaudio system, an expensive Volvo-sponsored speaker upgrade.

    The speakers in the back shelf are 8-inch paper cone 2-ways, that cost around $120 to replace. Some prople think that they have an annoying level of bass at around 60 Hz.

    I installed Pioneer TS-A1780R 6 3/4 inch 4-way round speakers because Crutchfield recommended their fit. They are a drop-in install and give a pleasant, balanced sound. Don't worry about 4 ohm vs 8, they will work fine.

    Installing 6x9s would require chopping the speaker mounts, depending on the particular speaker.

    If you want hip-hop bass, you will need an amp and sub.
