    Help fitting a 4x50W Amp please!!!

    hey guys, i am a 19yr old keen reader of your forum even though i havent ever posted anything!!! but I have recently bought a 1998 S70 2.5 (Not quite a T5 I know!!!)

    I have just "upgraded" the SC-805 to the SC-901, and purchased the 4x50W amp to run it. I have tested all the equipment and it all works and sounds fantastic....however.........i cannot fit the amp.

    I have been told that there are two amps available. One that fits under the seat, and the other that fits behind the headunit. I have the one that apparently fits behind the headunit, but i'll be damned if it will fit in there!!!!!!

    So, please can any of you guys help out. Cheers, Tom

    SC901 in all cases I have come across use the under the seat amp. This could be why if wont fit. (could be wrong) Salvo group should be able to sort you out with one, someone here will have their contact details I'm sure, guys and dolls?
    I ask everyone to drive safe and give an extra thought before you drive to fast.

    i took the side panel out of the passanger footwell to give acces to the rear of the consol then fixed my processor to the open panel area. worked a treat you may need to think about heat generation from the amp though. but it could work for you.
