Saab 9-3 convertible, stereo upgrade, Installed 2 amps in boot, changed 2 speakers in doors and 2 in rear cards, put 2 tweeters in front dash, left & right, put 2 - 6"x9"s & a 8" sub in behind the seats, added, an EQ, sounds great! Put EQ where drink holder went, removed cd player and put in a...

Hello, Ive just bought an aftermarket Amp and sub, spent hours yesterday trying to get it to work with the original AMP which is located under the drivers seat. I already had an RCA adpater/Hi Lo converter but I'm not that technically gifted nor as handy as I wish I was so I just gave up. I...

Hi, Everybody, This is more of an issue every time I drive the 9000 Aero with that radio. The 9-5 wagon sound quality is garbage. From what I have read I should have nine speakers, three on the dash, two on each door, and two in the rear. Not so sure if things haven't been cannibalized. Is there...

Hi, sorry if this has been asked many times but I'm trying to install a 10" sub in my 07 convertible and can't seem to get it to push out the power it should. I have a 10" 1000 w sub (200 w RMS) with a 400w amp. I have connected to to the amp outputs via a LOC for the front door speakers...

The problem is a very weak sound stage coming from the back when I turn the fader all the way to the rear. The difference is really noticeable as the front is twice, maybe three times as loud as the rear. It's my wife's car and she says it wasn't like this before the stock defective head unit...

I'm looking to upgrades my speakers because the stock ones are poop. I have the 7 speaker setup. I want to upgrade the dash speakers to these: and the door speakers to these: I hear the ones in the back are bad regardless so i want to put in a sub but i'm not sure which equipment to buy...

I know that this horse has been beaten, but I'm having some real trouble finding information on anything MY08+. Current setup is the stock 7 speaker system. I've read that you can install a Line output Converter for RCA connections into AMP1 under the driver's side seat. I want to be sure that...

Hi, I am looking to keep the stock speakers most likely as they seem to be of good quality. I just would like an amp and subwoofer to have the bass instead of the shotty bass the stock speakers have. I don't want a new dash or anything I would like it all stock. How can I go about having all the...

So just recently bought subwoofers for my 2002 saab 9-3 SE and am planing on installing then myself cuz installation is expensive. I was curious if anyone has any tips on how to get from the battery to the interior of the car and as well I replaced the factory radio a while back and don't know...

Hello all, new user here! I have a Bazooka powered Subwoofer Tube that I am trying to install in my SAAB, all I am missing is the correct color codes for the wires coming out of the head unit, as I simply need to splice into them. YES I have searched through all the past forum posts, on...

i own a 2003 saab 9-3 vector sport and twice this year the alternator has died my theory is that because the amp is running off the fuse box to act as a remote the power isn't being properly divided and is killing the alternator? thoughts? i am thinking of just getting the sub and amp...

Sound System Issues/Problems Hello all I have some issues and questions regarding the installation of aftermarket amps and subwoofers. I have a 2001 9-5 Aero with the factory 9 speaker Harmon Kardon system. I do not have a factory subwoofer although I am almost fully positively certain that the...

Ladies and Gents, I'm having a crisis. I'm having a hard time figuring out my sound system design. I've got to keep enough room for a stroller (if and when that's needed in the future) and the ability to get to my spare tire compartment without hesitation. But I want some thump. Should I go...

I just got my Saab yesterday and the front right speaker doesn't work. I want to change all the speakers in the car in addition to the head unit. I really want to get this one: What kit would I need so that it would fit flush with the dash, the head unit is only half the size of the stock one...

I have installed a subwoofer and amplifier in the trunk of the car. I am using the factory headunit for budget as well as just plain being simpler, so the problem is I have to use a line level convertor. I have read that the speaker signal has to be taken from the front door speakers as they are...

The dealership says my (out of warranty) 2007 SportCombi has a dying subwoofer. It randomly thumps to its own rhythm. They want ~$700 (ouch) to install a factory replacement (which isn't even available). I notice theSaabsite doesn't carry subwoofers either. What are my options? Does a drop-in...

Thought this information i got from Crutchfield for my recent aftermarket speaker swap might be useful for the forum. This is for a MY02 convertible, but worked for my MY03 and might be valid for all MY99-MY03 convertibles. L dash: + brown, - brown/gray R dash: + brown/black, - brown/red L...

Hi guys, im a recent member (joined today) and just bought a 2007 9-3 convertible 2.0t with 5600 miles on it, but i don't really like the stereo system. I just moved from a '97 maxima with about 2.5k of audio goodies on it. I just have the base stereo system, no bose. (150 watts, from what...

Does anybody know how I can take the sub woofer out of my 2000 Saab 9-5. It's blown and I'd like to replace it but so far I haven't found anything online or been able to figure it out on my own.

Hi. I have a 9-5 wagon 2.3t. The car has 8 total speakers. I've blown the center channel speaker in the dash and also the subwoofer in the rear luggage area. I can't stand the sound it makes now. Where is the best place to shop for replacement speakers? Value is what I seek... i.e. quality yet...
