IF it is a wagon, then 6 1/2" Speaker Repair Kit Angled or Flat Attach with 1 Foam Surround - SWK65 from speakerworks dot com. The speaker isn't *exactly* 6 1/2, but the referenced foam is a good enough fit.
HINT: attach a dry cell to the speaker before you glue the foam in place - I'm told it tends to center the voice coil so that you won't be replacing a buzz with a scrape. What with Saab using speaker impedance rather than amplifier sensitivity to balance the sound, and with the wagon subwoofer living in a tuned enclosure, repairing the existing speaker is a far better choice than arbitrarily installing a different speaker, and far more economical than a new OE speaker (assuming they are avialable._
R&R is an adventure - or not. You *can* in principle remove the grille (it snaps in) and then the speaker itself - if you have been very, very good all your life. If not, those little plastic tabs will surely break off. Or you can remove the side panel, grille and all, and then remove the speaker. I did the latter - that's the only reason I know that the grille just snaps in. The WIS has you remove the side panel to get at the speaker...
