Ok, I cant find any info on how to do this, so I would appreciate someone who could tell me where the factory amp is located and what wires go where. Thanks, Tim Klein

So I would just use the stock speaker wire, but how would I would I hook up everything to the amp. Do they even make an 8 channel amp? Or would I need two 4ch? I doubt my lil 7875 would sound nice pushing 8 speakers... I take it dash and front door will be front signal, and rear door and backseat will be rear signal...?

Thanks for the advice, I didnt know Volvo was owned by Ford this early. Now I gets to hunt for an amp This is gonna be fun, im really considering paying CC to do it, they said it would be 100 just to find the amp, and rip it out, then splice all the stuff up. Then they said that the radio would have to b hardwired in (BS, I found the connector) and that would be 65-75. My radio will not be hard wired in, over my dead body. I want the connectors that came from the factory And it seems I have speakers in the: dash (tweeters maybe) front doors up top rear doors on bottom above back seat So thats 8 speakers, how would I wire that up to an amp?

Ok, I just bought my new car, a bright red 1993 Volvo 850 GLT with tan leather and a 5 spd. The cars great, but its lacking in the sound department. Ok, I have a MINT condition Alpine CDA-7875 head unit (BBE, V-Drive, etc) that I want in this car, how do I hook it up? I have put this head unit in 4 different cars so far so im not an idiot, but Circuit City told me you couldnt put a head unit in this car without rewiring EVERYTHING in the car due to an internal amp. Now, my 240SX had internal amps and all I did was hook up the remote turn on wire to the one on the HU and it worked great. Anyoen have a wiring diagram? Also, I pulled the Volvo radio out and I cant see how another HU would even attach in there... Its like 2 rails with locking tabs on the radio. 2nd QUESTION: I have month old Alpine Type-S 6.5/6.75in Components. Will they fit in this car at all, or should I sell them and buy speakers that will work with the FACTORY Volvo amp. I dont want to rip out the factory amp yet. Thanks! Tim Klein
