Also Need A Radio Code And Speaker Questions

Recommended Posts

I need a radio code for:

Sc-811 Premium sound

Serial #: B50174641

Oh and for those who can't get to a Volvo dealership in hundreds of miles, thanks for helping us out...

Also, i am installing an HU and am thinking about replacing the 3.5 inch dash, 5.25 front doors, and rear speakers. What are the ideal size for infinity kappas in the rear, and is there any wiring that will be required or can i just drop them into factory holes, etc. Do i also need an antenna adapters for the HU? Thanks, Rob

Most Kappas are going to be 2 ohm drivers. You are going to want 4 ohm, unless you have an aftermarket amp that runs at 2 ohm. Two sets of 4 ohm 2-way drivers is what you're looking for if you are just running them off the HU. A single 2-way driver replaces both the dash and the door speakers. The same is true for the rear.

What rear location are you talking about? Door or deck?

No, you should not need an ant adaptor.

If no one here can give you the code...do what I did call a dealership closest in miles to you....feign ignorance as to what the "service" light means and say you'll want to take it to them for that. Then bring up that they didn't give you the code when you bought the car, give them your vin and the SN of the radio and they'll give you the code over the phone.

rear deck is what i'm talking about and so you saying that a kenwood kdc-x890 HU wont power the kappa series by itself. Maybe i'll just go rear deck and front door with a 4-ch amp and no dashboard speakers if thats true...

It's not that it won't power them. It can't supply as much as they could take, that's true, but more importantly you're eventually going to cook the internal amp.

If you put a 2-way driver in your front door, you won't need anything in the dash, no matter what setup you use.

If you have to pick either rear door or rear deck, the door is better, in case you choose to run a sub in the trunk at some point. Both 5.25 and 6.5 have worked in the doors. If you run into something that doesn't fit, a quick MDF baffle will likely be all that's needed solve your issue.

as per the radio code. All you have to do is call them and ask. They will want your vin #. You tell them, they give you the code. If they say you need to come in, say your really busy and won't be able to come in until the weekend and it would be a big help if they could just do it over the phone. Then write it down so you don't have to call back. They don't like that... :(
