ZDSKV3 Volvo 2-Way Speaker Kit
The ZDSKV3 is a vehicle-specific audio upgrade designed to fit directly into the OEM speaker locations on select Volvo models (see Vehicle Application for compatible vehicles). It installs without modifications to your vehicle's electrical system.
The kit drops straight into the same position as the factory speakers, making for a straightforward, hassle-free installation that suits both audio enthusiasts and those simply looking for a clean upgrade.
At the heart of the system is a 2-way component setup: a 6.5 inch (165mm) midrange woofer paired with a 1 inch (25mm) tweeter. The woofer handles rich, detailed mid-range reproduction, while the tweeter takes care of the higher frequencies with precision. If you're looking to add further depth to your system, the Phoenix Gold Z10AB 10 Inch Active Subwoofer Enclosure pairs well as a bass extension.
The ZDSKV3 handles 80W RMS with a 160W maximum, covers a frequency range of 60Hz to 20kHz, and offers a sensitivity of 89dB (1W/1m). The 4 ohm impedance ensures compatibility with a wide range of head units and amplifiers.
Tweeter output can be adjusted at 0dB or -2dB to suit your listening preference. The kit includes vehicle-specific crossovers with a 12dB high-pass filter at 4000Hz for the tweeter and a 6dB low-pass filter at 4000Hz for the midrange driver, ensuring accurate, well-balanced audio reproduction.
Installation is genuinely plug and play. The kit includes vehicle-specific connectors that connect directly to the existing wiring, so there is no need for complex wiring or modifications. The speakers are engineered to maintain clear, high-quality sound even at high volumes, making them a strong choice for anyone wanting a meaningful improvement over factory audio.

About the Phoenix Gold ZDSKV3
From our tech experts at CEN
The Phoenix Gold ZDSKV3 is a plug-and-play 2-way component speaker kit for selected Volvo models such as the C30 and S40, not a coaxial pair. It pairs 6.5 inch (165mm) mid-woofers with separate 1 inch (25mm) tweeters, handling 80w RMS and 160w maximum with 89 dB sensitivity and a 60 Hz to 20 kHz range. Vehicle-specific crossovers fit the OEM locations.
Who it suits
Owners who want a clear upgrade over the factory speakers without cutting panels or changing wiring. For newer Volvo XC90, XC60 and XC40 models, Phoenix Gold offers separate front and rear kits.
Our tech experts advise
The crossovers use a 12 dB high-pass for the tweeter and a 6 dB low-pass for the woofer at 4000 Hz, with a 0 or -2 dB tweeter level switch to suit the car. Check your model on the vehicle application list before ordering. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these speakers fit my car?
A: Most car speakers are standard sizes, but mounting depth and fitting rings vary by vehicle. Check the size in the Specification tab against your vehicle, or contact CEN with your registration and we will confirm fitment and any adapters or fitting kits you need.
Q: Do I need an amplifier to run these speakers?
A: Not always. Most speakers will run from a standard head unit, but a dedicated amplifier lets them perform at their best, particularly for component sets and higher power handling models. The RMS figure in the Specification tab is the guide to how much clean power they can use.
Q: What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit for a simple like-for-like upgrade. Component sets separate the tweeter and woofer with a crossover for better imaging and detail, and suit installs where sound quality is the priority.
Q: Do these come as a pair?
A: Unless stated otherwise, car speakers are sold in pairs. Check the product title and What's Included tab, which lists exactly what is in the box.
Q: Can CEN fit these speakers for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book an installation slot or ask for a fitting quote.
Q: Which Volvo models does the ZDSKV3 fit?
A: Its vehicle list covers the front doors of Volvo C30, S40, S60, S80, V40, V50, V60, V70, XC60, XC70 and XC90 models. Check the Specification tab for the full vehicle application list, or contact CEN with your registration and we will confirm fitment.
Q: Is the ZDSKV3 a component kit?
A: Yes. It combines a 6.5 inch midrange woofer with a separate 1 inch tweeter and vehicle-specific crossovers.
Q: Can I adjust the tweeter level on the ZDSKV3?
A: Yes. The tweeter level can be set to 0dB or -2dB.
