SWM Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Only had the car a couple months, and i was blown away by the stereo sound quality, im no audiophile, but it sounds good to me. Well, i lost my ipod and noticed radio stations that come in fine, dont sound as good as digital audio...which is expected. I have a Blau HU pulled from my Jeep with AUX already setup for when i replace my ipod, will i notice better sound quality with an aftermarket HU installed? Is it worth keeping the stock HU if all i care about is playing an ipod and CDs and have no intentions for future expansion outside of possible speaker swap? Also, will this have any impact on the factory amp?this is my blau HU...not a top of the line, but it always did the trick int he JEEP and has the aux with is nice.http://www.blaupunkt.com/us/download/CasablancaCD52.pdfhttp://www.blaupunkt.com/au/7642295310_main.aspWith its sheik new multi-coloured display animation and sound features, the Casblanca CD52 puts the finishing touch on high-end sound systems.

Chilled man Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Unless its a R it has the amp in the head unit. So with a Aftermarket will sound better but not as powerfulla speaker replacement will be the best option also anything is a upgrade to the factory system and upgrading in volvos is extreamly easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
