Nice to see the OSF love on here.

As said before, the Volvo kinda satisfies my need for retro fun, but without the scene tax. I would swap it in a heartbeat for a decent 4i though. Sorry.
A mate and I fitted the speakers on Saturday. I cannot recommend these enough! I paid £15 posted and they sound more like £50 10cm speakers. I know even that isn't a massive amount, but usually 90% of 10cm/4" speakers do are make noise and they don't even do that well. These have very nice clarity, more than decent mid-bass and handle volumes I would expect of a 16.5cm/6.5" unit.

I was thinking they would do just to tide me over and then I would get some Focals or perhaps better Vibe, but there is no need now. The sound reminds me of the Inifinit Kappa range (or what it used to be like, I have no idea now). What I like to think of as high-end budget.

Thumbs up to Volvo for the speaker pod location too. Nice height/angle.
I run these and two 16.5cm Ground Zero co-axials from a 4x60WRMS Alpine HU and with the addition of a little bass i will be very happy. I never wanted an 'install' just some 'music'.
Pointless pics...

Original fitting kit FTW. Have I failed by cutting uncut OMG rare mk2 cards? lol
They weren't a straight fit into the OEM housings. So a little trimming here and there was needed. I will say what has been done incase it is of use to anyone else.

There was a protruding 'ring' on the underside of the cover. You can see where it has been flatted off.

Similar deal for the speakers. The grey outer ring has been ground down to about 50% of the original size to gain the clearance for the covers to snap shut. (yeah it's rough, but you don't see it.)
And in.

The whole setup.

As can be seen, the OEM grilles (or any other) aren't fitted at present. This is because the tweeter protrudes from the speaker pod.
I am going to modify the original grilles so that it clears. I guess I will have to bulge the centre out. I don't want to leave them as they currently are. Stealth is the name of the game here.
Plus the driver design looks shite IMO!
