    Good to know, there appears to be a decent bit of room behind the door card so hopefully I can aim them without too much difficulty.

    Thanks, ideally I can get everything done before Jason's NC meet in May. We'll see how things go though. Windows getting tinted Monday, then I may call into a local shop just to see how much they might charge to get the speaker wire into the doors.

    Saw your post about wiring through the molex on the other forum. My recommendation, remove the doors and make your own secondary door boot for speaker wires if you dont want to re-use oem wiring. There is no shot you are getting 3 pairs of new speaker wire through that thing. trying to get one pair through may be an option and just tie into the other ones that are already ran.

    Thanks, that's sort of what I am leaning towards doing. The OEM wiring is not going to work, only one set of wire goes through the boot then splits once it is inside the door for the 3-way in there. I called a shop locally who estimate $70 - $100 per side to run the wire, but the more I look at the boot / plug etc. I don't see how that will be possible.

    Looks like I just need to gather some supplies to make my own boot. Any recommendations on materials to use to make sure it is weather resistant? Figure techflex on the wires themselves, then an outer rubber boot, grommet on the door side and silicon to seal it up?

    I saw these quite a while back on another build log somewhere and bookmarked them just in case. Hope they help you out!

    Just a thought on a way that only requires the existing single pair of wires through the door boot... Get a nice quality 3-way set with passive xover - Install the passive xover in the door - Let Dirac Live do it's thing

    That's actually not a bad idea, I'd like to use the equipment I have, but could sell it to offset some of the cost of the new set. I can bridge amp channels that way for more power if desired and possibly just run a single amp.

    Certainly worth looking into at least, thanks.

    My dad always had Volvo 544's and 122's growing up and of course my first car was a 68 122's 2 door. He always dreamt of getting a P1800.

    Always had a soft spot for Volvos and wagons to boot (owned two wagons and if it wasn't for this minivan/SUV craze may have owned more).

    Good luck with your build, your new ride looks sweet and already sounds fun to drive even before you finish the audio upgrade, so you have great starting point...
    Finally get to update this, procurement & install planning phase has had some execution happen, procurement is for minor items now. Have Morel MT350 Tweeters & Hybrid MW6 Woofers, AudioControl DM-6.1200 & just added LC.1-800, KnuKoncepts Wiring and distribution, Audiofrog GS12D2 refurb, starting with inexpensive subwoofer enclosure to get everything up and running and let funds replenish some...Funds have replenished and now I am questioning my early DSP/Amp approach decision...
