Retrofit Volvo V60 B&W

[dawn_s]

Hi!
Here are the part references I bought for the installation:
1x 31456872
1x 31438338
4x 31489121
2x 31456827
4x 31456822
1x 31651962 – Center speaker trim
1x 31456863 – Center speaker
1x 31490642 + 31490640 – HK front door trims
1x 32265527
1x 32212620
1x 31425780 – Roof speaker cover (black headliner)
1x 31425779 – Roof speaker cover (black headliner)

The roof speakers already came with the mounting brackets in my case. I recommend getting speakers that already include the brackets.

If you want, I can tell you the amplifier pinout, but if you buy an amplifier that already comes with the connectors, everything will be much easier.

Headliner removal

To lower the headliner, you need to remove the following parts in this order:

1- Roof grab handles
2- Rear door sill trims
3- Trunk side panels
4- C-pillar trims (the “trunk drops”)

It’s important to follow this order, because if you don’t remove some parts, you won’t be able to remove the others.
Once everything is loose, you only need to slightly lower the rear part of the headliner.

You will need a cutting compass. The headliner already has cutting marks; this is explained in the first comment of the post.

Roof speaker mounting

You will need mounting rings that must be glued to the headliner to secure the speaker covers.

I made these rings myself using 2 mm methacrylate.

The car already has studs and nuts to fix the speakers; you will only need one M5x20 mm screw per speaker.

Wiring

The cables are routed to the right-hand side, following the factory wiring loom and secured with zip ties.
Since you will have the entire trunk side and door sill removed, you can route the cables directly to the amplifier.
The subwoofer is mounted on the left-hand side.

Very important

  - The wires in the left amplifier connector change position, and in their place you must add the roof speaker wires.
Check my last comment in this thread.

  - All other speakers are plug & play.

If you have any questions or need the wiring diagram, just let me know.

️ Important tip: make sure the amplifier comes from a car with the same steering wheel position as yours (left-hand drive or right-hand drive).

I bought one from a right-hand-drive car and had audio issues because of this detail.
Also, make sure it’s from the same model as your car.

I think I didn’t forget anything.

Thank you so much! I'll report back how it goes.
