I've put in a number of stereos in many Saabs. Any will work. You can get a decent quality one (usually installed for free) from about $150 and up. The opening in the dash is large enough to accommodate nearly every regular sized deck. If it's a DIY installation, you just want to make sure the rear of the deck fits tightly into the c-clamp mounting bracket in the dash. I've seen tissue to foam pieces stuffed in the bracket to make a tight fit. I suggest something heat resistant as most decks can get a bit toasty. Go with any reputable brand (some have a 2 or even 3 year warranty, check with the dealer) such as Alpine, Kenwood, Sony, Panasonic, Clarion, etc - you should be able to find one that compliments the aesthetics of the dash. DON'T go with a factory deck. Most factory decks are very inexpensive. The ones Clarion made for Saab were decent, but are about $60 decks at best by comparison. Hope this helps.
