It was installed in an 89 C900. This particular radio and bucket, (and equalizer), drove the 4 speakers directly from the radio. The connections to the car mated up correctly. Since late model C900's and 9000's of similar vintage, up to about 94ish, used the same radio's, your '89 setup should plug in if you swap the bucket(s), providing the "PO" didn't hack up the wiring too badly, and the radio setup you have doesn't need the separate amp. Some older series clarions had a "pigtail" that hooked up to the remote amplifier, .5volt hi impedance line level. The pigtail is fader controlled to the rear speakers. I'd have to look up my notes to give you the pinout. I use a line level amplifier to boost up the .5 volt signal to drive a vintage Fosgate 150. Works fine for the subs. A bit rough on the coach work tho', quite the thump in the trunk. Oddly enough, inside the bucket of the Clarion with external amp, there seems to be provisions to drive 4 speakers directly. The Clarion setup in my C900 ragtop was ok at best originally. I had enough volume, but no bottom, so to speak. The addition of the subs, while a bit of work, has made a world of difference. I use an RF modulated 10 cd mp3 player to play my stuff. No issues so far. Oh, nice tunes btw! dave
