Hi, I found a useful thread in VE section of this site (GREAT SITE BTW) for adjusting the gain on factory fitted amplifiers in VE Calais-V which worked FANTASTICALLY (upping the gain a little to increase base) BUT does anyone know WHERE the factory fitted subwoofers are located on a VE Calais-V ?
Being a bass note- it's very difficult to poinpoint where it's coming from and they are too 'weak' to feel vibrations from any particular point!
Any advice gratefully recieved,
i think they are in the rear parcel shelf..
if no luck finiding it under there. hop in the boot and play some music and have a good look round.
they will be hiding there some where
The woofers are under the parcel shelf
Thanks guys, I found out why I couldn't find them- they're not working!!!! Fiddled around with settings but it seems 'something aint right' so off to warranty next service we go! (multi-meter shows nothing coming through!
oh well.... I still like the car lol.

Can you provide a link to the post you are referring to ... I've trying to find it without success. The subs I believe are 8" drivers in the parcel shelf. I'm considering fitting a pair of Pioneer 8" triaxils.

To set the gain PROPERLY, start with gain turned down to MINIMUM, then turn the volume up to around 80%, with all EQ settings on the head unit switched off - no equalization. From there, turn the gain up until you hear any indication of speaker distortion. Turn the gain back down below where you first heard the distortion with some extra room for different music types etc.
