Hi Chaps
Digging through some of my things, I've found the headunit I had in my 850. Its a Black SC-801 Premium Sound System headunit in good condition that I had 'hacked' by our very own bobbych, see here for some info: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showth...ighlight=sc805 In addition to his Aux input on the front panel, I asked him to put another jack input on a long lead from the back of the headunit so I could keep that lead in the glovebox (just kept the ipod/mp3 player in there), and also an rca output with 12v turn on lead so I could power an external amplifier from the stock Volvo headunit with no messing around. With this I ran a nice alpine amp with some decent component speakers up front and a sub in the boot, all being fed from my mp3 player, but it all looked stock. IIRC I think the sacrifice for this was losing the rear speaker output from the headunit, however this wasn't an issue for me as you don't need rear with a decent amped set of components up front. If it was an issue you could always just get a 4ch amp instead to power some rears for a bit of fill. Amped aftermarket component speakers are far better than stock sound systems as some of you probably know so this was a neat way of having a modernised high quality setup, without sacrificing the stock look. Doubt there are any other modded SC-801 headunits like this out there so doubt this will hang around, grab a bargain at £80. I'll probably kick myself for selling this if I ever get myself another 850 or 960 which takes the SC headunit! Anyway, enough rambling, if you are interested then send me a PM! Cheers Yoda960 |
