Stereo removal/install

I have a 93' volvo 850 GLT with a very nice aftermarket headunit that was put in before I bought the car. Now I need to install my sub amp and I need to be able to get to the back of the headunit to plug stuff in. So, how do I remove the headunit???

I have been trying to figure out how to do it w/ searchs allover but I can't figure it out for the life of me... I did check out this place but they arn't any help.
I checked out the 850 link but it's very vague and I don't get what they mean AT ALL, plus it looks different in the picture than mine does (again, 93' the first year...)

Volvo OEM radios have two prongs that pivot out on either side to provide pulling handles to remove the unit. You mentioned that yours is an aftermarket radio, so I think we'd need to know more about it. Do you have a photo?

have you looked behind the face?

yes, the OEM volvo unit has two "latches" that work as handles when you press on them, they snap, and then a spring pushes them out.
