First of all on the new site we need an audio section!!!! I have a SC900 headunit and ive seen on ebay an amplifier that apparently comes as standard with this headunit. Where is this amplifier located if i have one at all that is???
under the driver's seat!! and sc900 cannot drive speakers without it
Thanks madness, just been out to check under the drivers seat, is it visible at all cause thats all i can see is the connections for the leccy seats?
i think you can only see the cooling fins if it's there
I can't speak for a V70, but on my 850 the standard amp is in the space behind the ash tray in the centre console and under the the radio unit so it only needs a very short lead to connect between them.
Well ive gone out to check again, this time armed with a torch, and its safe to say that its definately not underneath the drivers seat.
It's not under the seat, its behind the dash ask big W for exact location as he has removed his unfortunatly.

Depends how complicated you wanna get! Either make a 5 pin din to RCA plug, buy one, if you can find um, Mamplin, maybe, or cut off plug and solder new connectors on. the choice is yours. more info available if required.
You've already got to complicated for me with 'either make a 5 pin din to RCA plug lol

[QUOTE=arbee]If you're going aftermarket with headunit and speakers youi'll be way way better off with a half decent aftermarket amplifier[/QUOTE] Whats the specification of the standard amp, is it 4x60watt?
[QUOTE=BlackBeast]Whats the specification of the standard amp, is it 4x60watt?[/QUOTE] Eh, i wouldn't give it that much credit. I think it to be around 4x30watt but no more than 4x45watt. About the amplifier being seperate, i never even thought about it until it all clicked in my head upon reading this. In my S70 i hear this weird springy sound when i turn the car off im wondering if this is just the mechanism that doesnt allow your keys to be locked in the car when in the ignition or is it possibly the relay in the amplifier springing to one side when the magnetic field drops?
According to my manual its a 4x50 watt
[QUOTE=vikingt5]According to my manual its a 4x50 watt[/QUOTE] I'd put money on that being its 'max' rating rather than real RMS watts tho :)
Ok, for all you ICE nuts out there, your mission is to find be a great 4channel amp for £50 or under :) Other than it being 4 channel and a having a good RMS spec, what should i be looking for?
[QUOTE=Engineer]It's not under the seat, its behind the dash ask big W for exact location as he has removed his unfortunatly.[/QUOTE] Is that the Wobbly one? Ive just checked and it is definately behind the dash. How do i go about taking it out along with the mounting harness?
In my C70 the amp's tucked away in the rear wing, hiding beneath the aerial. Not a job for the fainthearted!
