Stereo FAQ

Post by gdict »

Is there a resource anywhere for the the first generation C70 stereo systems? I have a 2001 C70 convertible with the "standard" stereo that I am quite happy with, but I would like to possibly add the factory optional subwoofers behind the rear seat. I'm trying to find out what I need for an "OEM" installation. I also have a 2002 C70 convertible with the Dolby stereo system and in-dash 3 disc changer. It has the 4X100W amp, but both the fuses are blown and blow immediately when trying new ones. I'm hoping there is some sort of "clearing house" of C70 stereo info out there, because I can't seem to find one.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Really? Nothing?

How about a forum with more C70 owners?

Looks not so much like a FAQ, more like a very special interest problem. I have no idea about anything C70, let alone the premium stereo.

Good luck finding a forum with more C70 owners.

Have you tried swedespeed or the british Volvo forum? There were quite a few audiophiles out there, hacking Head units and alike.

Maybe someone here has a wiring harness for your C70s, this might help you guide in the right direction for your subwoofer issue.

I would guess you can run the factory sub with one of these amps that need no line in signal. But this is probably a topic for a car stereo forum...
