Hi,
I'm considering to add the 9" subwoofers which are optional in my C70. Mine
has a SC901 radio. Related questions for which I'm loking for a link or
hint:
- where's the amplifier located?
- whare would the subwoofer amp go?
- anybody mounted [non-volvo] subwoofers in this type of car?
- how to connnect the subwoofer amp?
Regards & Thanks, Wytze
Well in my '99 C70 the amp is located in the boot.
Facing the open boot, there should be a deep storage bin on the left
hand side - the amp is behind that panel...incidentally, that deep
storage bin can come out and it's where the 6 disc changer is meant to
go - the mounting brackets and cable are already there.
Of course, the location of the amp might vary between years...
If the 9" subs are an option on yours then I'm guessing there's already
space for the subs and the amp, much like there is for the CD changer.
So fitting non Volvo ones shouldn't be a problem - you'll find several
well known in car hifi manufacturers that sell speaker replacements
designed to fit in most of the popular cars these days.
There's all sorts of custom sub options but the quickest and easiest is
to use the spaces and mounts already put there by Volvo.
I've never mounted 9" subs in the C70 so I don't know where they or the
sub amp would mount. I have, however, looked round the inside of mine
and I can't find any likely mounting places - either that means I've
already got them or there's no option for them on the year of my C70.
If you happen to know or find out I'd be very interested to know...
Hope that helps,
Andrew
