I have a 1987 740 that I would like to connect a kenwood tape player/radio to. I think I can get a match-up for the wires, wit hthe exception of the black plug in cable from the amplifier. The kenwood plug will not accept the volvo cable (different number and arrangement of pins). My question is will this radio work if I just connect the speaker wires, power wires, etc., without connecting the amplifier. I don't need high-power sound, so does the radio/tape have an internal amplifier, with the volvo amplifier under the dash just serving as a "boost" mechanism? I hope this is the case, as I can't see how to connect the anplifier cable to the kenwood unit. thanks in advance for any help/ideas.
