PharmD Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 noYep, an SC-900 ...It's the same thing as the SC-901, so TECHNICALLY another exists but if you don't like the SC-901, you won't like the 900 either. If you don't like the 3-CD in dash, you could always use the 901 (which has considerably better sound and a defeatable pre-amp adjustment) with a trunk mounted 6 CD changer for some better sound and not have to fool with the in-dash 3 CD.

PharmD Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 oem volvo's radios suckperiodYou think the SC-901 w/400W amp (ProLogic) and the Dynaudio package on first generation C70's sucks? Maybe if you like music where all you hear is "BOOM BOOM CLICK CLICK BOOM BOOM BOOM", then I could see otherwise. However, for some pretty stinkin' good audio, the C70 SC-901 w/Dynaudio and 400W ProLogic setup is awfully nice in my opinion, and I've heard a loooot of stereos :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmD Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I would... being that I have it in my car and all Most definitely. Would someone mind to explain to me where it's lacking? Even more intriguing, what are people considering to be on the level of "good" if the SC-901/Dynaudio option is NOT on that plateau? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MavericK41 Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have the 901 with the dolby and it sounds pretty good. It gives out a good overall sound with some respectable bass. its not going to bump as hard as some aftermarket systems but you will probably get a more clear sound. Only problem i have is that my 3cd changer stopped working so im going to see if i can get a cd changer installed that will work with the FM radio so i can still use all my speakers.

steve s Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 did the dynaudio/dolby setup not rank among the best in terms of factory setups in many reviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I concur the SC-901 was one of the best factory sound systems, hence 'factory'. My complaints with the 901 too much distortion at above normal levels, while it has average mid-range it has weak artificial bass, when pushed sounds very hollow. The equilizer adjustments are sub-par for the dynaudio speakers and the 400W amp is way overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
