I have an Italian version of Saab 9-3 bought in 2003. It came standard with 7 loudspeakers and 1 amplifier connected to the built in CD-radio. Saab has an optional to upgrade this audio system with an additional 6 speakers and 1 more amplifier. The final result would still be a crappy sound (I tested it): to make it better few loudspeakers need to be replaced and the 2 amplifiers need to be replaced too. Unfortunately the CD-radio cannot be replaced (at least should I want to keep the overall cost of this exercize still accessable to my wallet) because it is strongly interconnetted with too many other funcions. The CD-radio talks with the amplifiers via fiber-optics (proprietary protocol by Saab). This means that I cannot replace the amplifiers. UNLESS someone of you gurus give me hints about. Cheers, Ji!!i
