'93 240 speaker mounts

Discussion in 'Volvo 240' started by Chuck Fiedler, Oct 23, 2008.

  1. Well, the speaker mount on the driver's door of my '93 240 finally
    cracked enough that it fell off the door. The pop rivets are still in
    the door.

    Any suggestions how to fix this?

    Pick up some less cracked ones at your local pick a part?

    On my '83, I bought some Polks that fit in the hole. They were too deep
    though, so instead of mounting the plastic bezel over the top of the
    speaker, I put the bezel between the speaker and door. Had to clip the
    corners of the sheetmetal on the speaker to fit inside the bezel and pop
    the middle of the grill out a bit to clear the tweeter cone but they
    don't look too bad. And sound great.

    I got some of these at a junkyard for my '84 240, I had to drill out the
    rivets and then I used machine screws with washers and nuts to hold them
    on the door panels of the 242. If they are not cracked too badly you can
    use this method, if a larger chunk has broken out, superglue or plastic
    weld epoxy should get them back together, then use the screws, they work
    better than rivets.

    the ones on my '91 disintegrated, so I got some 3/8" plywood, traces
    their outline, and broke out the jigsaw. A little edge sanding, bevel
    the upper and lower back edges, some black paint and they're invisible
    behind the speaker grilles. And will never disintegrate like the
    plastic did.
    Bonus - you can alter the depth and mounting holes to fit whatever
    speakers you like. I dropped in Pioneer 5-1/4's and they sound
    great. Just make sure it's not so thick that it impinges the edge of
    the dash.
