CD Changer Upgrade - 1999 S70 Advise?

Post by mfl237 »

I want to upgrade the stock sound system in my 99 S70 to one with a cd changer. I got a good deal on a SC-901 (wood trim) 3-cd changer and know I still need an external amplifier and cables/connectors. Any advise on where I can get these additional items without having to pay a ton of money? Are there after-markets items I can use? Thanks Mike

There are a ton of aftermarket amplifiers that would work great. It just depends on how the hookups are in the back of the stock cd changer and if they allow any aditional input to another power source. You may have to get a new aftermarket disc changer which would probably work better with an aftermarket amplifier and I think you can find good deals on these. Check the local stereo shops and get some quotes. If you just have normal speakers without a Sub woofer, then an inexpensive amplifier with not as high of watts should do just fine and supply plenty of enough power.
