1998 V70XC Wiring Stock Radio for Stock Amplifier

[Ludermilch]

Been reading about how one fits a Volvo amp to the factory SC-816 radio. I picked up an amazing 100w amp from a C70 and also got the DIN cable. What was missing was the factory connectors (harness). Is there a post showing how to wire up an amp using spare harnesses? Or am I better looking for this part :
CABLE HARNESS - VOLVO (6816303)

Many thanks,
Alex

This may not be exactly what you're looking for,
but it's a really good start and covers a lot of basics:

Looks like a dead link.

Got the link to work on a desktop. Good read. I did find what I was looking for in this forum.

Now I can use my SC-816 with the C70 amp. The only thing I need to work out is placement that looks stock.

I've heard tell that it'll squeeze in under the passenger seat.
But if you have people that ride in the back, it'll be a PITA
for the person riding behind the passenger - No foot space...

A 901 and the underseat 4 x 50 puts out remarkably good sound.
Add a sub, and you have a fairly decent system. Just a thought.
