If you can find the power lead into the amp under the passenger's seat, that WOULD work, but I know for a fact that Saab only made the power cable to that amp as big as they needed it to be and no more. If you hook up a 100 watt amp to that wire in addition to the 30W amp (or whatever it is) under the seat, you will probably find that it can't handle the load. You run the risk of overheating the cable and possibly causing an electrical fire at the worst. It might work at best : ), but I wouldn't bet on it. It probably would be in your best interest to run at least a 10 gauge power cable from the battery. There's engine compartment access right above the clutch via a rubber grommet type thingy that you pull off. Make sure that you hook up the "power on" wire to the right connection on the amp under the seat.
Good luck!
