Default Are the stock speakers easily blown?

I have an 02 S60. I like to listen to my music pretty loud. The stock system sounds really good but I get nervous turning the volume way up. I know some cars, the radio will only go up to a certain level so you don't blow your speakers. That doesn't seem to be the case on the Volvo. I was thinking of adding one of those Infiniti Basslink subs with a hi/lo converter off of the rear speakers. Anyone else done this? I don't want to change thehead unit or door speakers. I would like to keep it as stock as possible. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Also, is there a way to find out what the speaker configuration is on my car? I don't have the owner's manual because I bought it used. It's a regular base 2.4 model. Thanks.

you can get any manual online, just google "2002 S60 Owners Manual"

as for the basslink, its like you read my mind, i also have been thinking about the system, heard great things and on some places like Amazon they sell for only 170. first do you have premium sound? or just 6 speakers?

second, i think we have 6.75 inch in the doors and parcel shelf, 3.5 mids in front doors also, and 1.5 or 1 inch tweeters by front door handle.

the speakers in the doors seem to blow pretty easily especially the front passenger side one.

I have an 06 s60 and also wanted to keep the appearance. I just added a 4 way amp and 2 sets of polk audio speakers in the doors. From appearance you wouldnt know the difference but from the sound, its a whole new world!! I would recommend upgrading the speakers. If you have the shelf speakers, they should provide plenty of base already.
