External amplifier output equalized? S70 99

posted by  someone claiming to be James Rothe on  Mon Oct 30 05:25 CST 2000 [RELATED]

The SC-816 (and probably most other newer Volvo stereos) has a huge bass boost built into the unit, and it apprently cannot be turned off. I don't like it, and new speakers didn't help. (I've installed the Volvo/Dynaudio "Premium speaker kit.") I'm wondering if the external amplifier jack on the back of the SC-816 does not have that equalization curve on it. Would any of you happen to know???

My speculation is that, if the equalization is built into the pre-amp section of the SC-816, then the external amp output will be equalized. If, on the other hand, the equalization is built into the amplifier module of the SC-816, then there's a good chance that the external amp output will not be equalized. Anybody with experience regarding this?
