Hello. I just picked up a 95 850 T5-R on ebay, believe it or not. The car is in fantastic shape; the only problem seems to be concerning the rear-left speakers (one is out, the other barely emits sound). I was wondering what could be the problem here (I already checked the fader/balance controls). If I need to replace the speakers, where is the best/cheapest place to find them? I am looking for a CD changer as well... is the stock changer worth getting or is an aftermarket going to be better for the money? I think I can pick up the volvo changer for around 250 on ebay. Also, will a 10 or 12 cd changer work for that vehicle?

What are the best performance bargains for this car? I've heard that I should go for an IPD ECU and exhaust system...

One last thing, what octane gas should I use for this vehicle? Volvo seems to suggest 87 in its manual...

thanks,

Ron
