Its a straight drop in and worked great. If anybody is interested. It saw about a year of use and powered a JBL D class 1200 watt amplifier and I will include some 0 gauge cabling with it. I am looking for 300 shipped OBO. I paid well over 300 for it brand new and the car started way better than any other Volvo I had been in and I was running like 6 speakers plus some 12" infinity subs in the car. Its a beast lets put it that way. I even got an alternator dyno paper with it that showed all the testing parameters and results. Real nice piece of equipment here. Hit me up with a pm.

A couple pictures of when it got taken out. If you want me to take a few snaps of it right now I can do that as well.

Mechman apparently sells these things for $450 brand new.

 

"straight drop in" - for which Volvo model(s)?
