    I assume you want to put an aft.mkt amp to your stock head unit? What the SC811 or 815?? It's not going to happen!!! OEM radio will only work with OEM amps! unless you an engineer and can fabricate volvos' cables to fit that amp, you're stock. If you're goin to get an aft.mkt amp, I would suggest a new headunit at the same time! They are some nice double din headunits out there(Pioneer for ex.) and with an amp the system will sound 100% better.
    What I did with my 97 854T5 was: Buy a used SC901 headunit; got a deal on a OEM 200 watts amp; installed a 10" enclosed sub and Rockford fosgate 300W amp to push it.(all told cost me about $800-900 installed). I'm happy with the set-up!

    We put a 4 channel SPL brand amp into my friends Jetta a few weeks back. After getting all the levels set it sounds superb. I've used lots of SPL products with nothing but satifaction. If you're interested in one let me know. You can get a nice POWERFUL amp for under 150.
