In the Saab-Clarion system fitted to 1992- C900s, there are several components:
1) head unit: no built-in amplification. At least two versions of this, one for base cars, one for turbos, etc.
2) basket for head unit: amplifier for FRONT speakers built on to the back of it. (same on all) Three cables come off the basket:
a red and yellow pair (bands on the connectors) that go to the basket for the EQ (or have loopback connectors if your car doesn't have an EQ), and a blue connector that goes to the amplifier
3) amplifier: under rear seat, feeds ONLY the REAR speakers (same on all). Has three EQ settings via a switch, one each for 900 sedans, 900 convertibles, and 9000s.
4) EQ or EQ/CD (single) (Optional, or turbos & similar): Both have controls for a Clarion CD changer
5) basket for EQ or EQ/CD(Optional, or turbos & similar): Has additional cable connection (green) for CD changer.
6) CD changer in trunk (optional)
AFAIK, the blue cable to the rear amplifier only carries the line-level signal and the turn on power. The amp has a second connector for main power, ground, and speaker output.
