Hello friends! Now that I'm done with other improvements I want to get to the audio system.
Can you tell me what the 4 wires on the left connector are made of?
I think they are D-pillar speakers, but I have never seen those speakers.

thank you!

Hola chicos, ahora que terminó con otras mejoras quiero llegar al sistema de audio.
¿Me puedes decir de qué están hechos los 4 cables del conector izquierdo?
Creo que son altavoces del pilar D, pero nunca he visto esos altavoces.

Sorry, it was a mistake, it was unintentional.

Mission accomplished!
Original subwoofer installed and working! Now on to the center speaker!

Maybe one of you has the part number of the subwoofer plug and the two pins for the amplifier? I want to install a subwoofer in my V60 but I don't have a cable from the amplifier to the speaker and I need to know what the pins are in the amplifier and the plug in the speaker..

I've been a bit confused about the stereo configurations. It seems like there are four levels based on the config options:
Performance audio
High performance audio
Whatever the HK one was called
Whatever the B&W one was called
Mine has high performance audio. So is this not the bottom end specification, one up from the bottom as it were. Not sure if it has a sub - don't think so. So I could in principle retrofit a Volvo sub to my amp, even though it's not an HK system?

Performance Audio > no AMP direct output from IHU (4 channels only) 
High Performance Audio > with basic AMP (AUD) under passenger seat .   This one two variants with / without SUB but  without rear bench or roof speakers.  Some variants don't even have MID range on front doors and rear doors (90 series).    
High Performance Plus Audio > HK system.   Includes roof / rear bench, MID range on the front doors (90 series has MID range on rear doors too)   
Premium sound audio  > B&W > Same as HK + tweeter on the center dash and tweeter on the roof speakers or rear bench for 90 series. 

On My S60 I used B&W AUD came from s90. I added MID range on the rear doors (had to add wire from AUD to door for MID + high channels)  and also upgraded the rear bench speakers with tweeter.  


For those who upgraded to B&W speakers but kept the original trim panel on the front door. 
There is fabric on speaker grill. I removed it. Now I can see the B&W speakers just like B&W silver grill. Not only that but the sound just got better and cleaner.

Hey, I am helping my friend with his SUB retrofit. First, he have a V60 Momentum, with bare minimum of everything, orbit says he have a PERFORMANCE AUDIO(base) BUT he does have the Amplifier under the passenger seat. So he bought the SUB already and tried activating it, after connecing the 7 and 15 pin following every instruction. Righ now he is scheduled in VIP Service to activate it for him, but I cant unerstand what went wrong any why he failed. Do we need matching SUB(I hink his is from v90[not BW]. He even tried activating it and letting it sit for a while. He said that if he activates HK audio it actually sounds better but still no SUB. I think he have like 6 speakers, the bare minimum. Please advise

In the performance Audio base, the speakers are driven by the IHU and not by the AUD.  The AUD is there for the car's warning and signal sounds. 

Do we need matching SUB(I think his is from v90[not BW].

It really does not matter.  The difference between HK, B&W SUB is the resistance.  HK is 4 ohms and B&W is 8 ohms. 

 

He said that if he activates HK audio it actually sounds better but still no SUB.

That does not make sense at all. First of all,  the correct setting is from 01 - Performance audio to 02 - High Performance audio. Because he has the entry level AUD without center output.   Then he needs to rewire the speakers to be driven from the AUD and not from the IHU. 
It's a simple test. Put the config to OEM which should be 01.  Then, disconnect the green plugs from the AUD.  Turn on the radio, you should still hear the sound from speakers driven by the IHU. 
So, what you need is, 
Unpin the speaker outputs from the IHU and wire from the AUD to the unpinned wires for each output. (4)  
Here is the wiring diagram.  https://forums.spaycetech.com/attachment.php?aid=334 . 
What he has is on page 7A_002A_Audio1
What he wants is "7A_002B_External_Amplifier_Audio2_V526_V54x"  
And then change the config to 02-High Performance AUD and With SUB.

Whats really funny, and I am losing my mind here. Is that I would assume its how you are saying. But its not, he's got the speakers wired through the AMP and what he just did is to add wires to pin 7 and 15. With the test which you advised, if he unplugs the green plug all speakers stops working except the one in the dashboard. (So it works like High Premium without the SUB, but orbit reads it as just premium) 

Its 6 speakers configuration.

I am attaching the picture of all connectors to the AMP. 

To add more spice, when he changes from Premium to High Premium he gets better audio quality but needs to move couple pins on connectors to get the front door speakers working. 
But the SUB is dead anyways.
