Chilson2522 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I purchased a 1993 volvo 850 back in October 2011 with 161,000 and absolutly love the car (my first car). Well needless to say the lack of cup holders has finally got to me. My plan is to put a single DIN aftermarket stereo in and (with recently purchased 89-95 Taurus) cup/coin holder to allow me to have drinks in my car. While talking to a buddy of mine about this he told me when he replaced his stock system with an aftermarket SONY system he was only able to get a fraction of the volume through his stock speakers. I ONLY plan on replacing the deck not any speakers. What would cause this and how can I ensure that I do not have the same problem? I found on here that it outputs 80w total. Is that for in any way effected by the HU or is that the max that the car will allow without an AMP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEJinFBK Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just use a wiring harness adapter and everything should be fine. I'd be a little cautious about putting drinks right in front of the radio, though. One hard stop and you could drown it. Aren't there better cupholder options?

MattyXXL Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Why not pick up a 95+ console top with the cup holders in it? like this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilson2522 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 The way I see it is that it would be cheaper for me to replace a faceplate than my all of the switches in my center console if something falls out of the arm rest cup holders. I looked into that option and that seems more of a pain if something hapens than adding a single din cup holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXXL Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 2 screws is more of a pain? Ive dropped an entire 64oz big gulp on my center console at one point... never had an issue. But hey to each his own.. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
