stereo (external amp?) problem in my 1994 850 wagon 850 1994

About a month ago the stereo in my 850 wagon quit working. Everything works (lights come on, am/fm station presets tune in, tape turns, etc), but nothing but a very soft hiss can be heard coming from all 8 speakers. All the fuses are fine. I suspected the problem was the stereo unit itself until I plugged in a used one (with a 3 cd changer) and it behaved exactly the same. So now my suspicions are that there is an external amplifier that is not working. The dealership says my stereo unit needs replacing, but when I asked them if the stereo has an external amplifier, they didn't know. I would like to upgrade to the used one with the 3 cd changer but I can't see doing that until I am sure the rest of my system is working properly.

Can anyone confirm the existance (and location) of an external amplifier in a 1994 850 wagon, and offer advice on fixing it?
