    Looks good mate.

    You should get the inner boot cover - will cover the dynamat and look stock (has the same fabric/carpet as the boot). I got mine from Holden for about $80 i think..

    Holden dealers have them, Im sure they come of calais or other not 100%

    I guess Holden though SSV's needed a bit of weight reduction so they just took it out lol

    hey mate,

    which Rockfords are you using? I've just finished installing some T1652's in the rear doors, and will be doing the fronts and centre soon, all T1 Power range.

    hopefully you can give me a heads up if you used the same gear, how was the centre speaker to install? you say 4.5" which sounds big.. was it a pain in the ass?

    Same same T1652 mate, Centre is 4" sorry. the T142. Once you remove the centre speaker cover you'll need to carve the plastic back with a dremel or similar. You need to as the standard speaker is 3". I also took the rubber of the magnet for extra clearance.

    Even after doing this you will need a spacer made from MDF to seal the gap.

    I used T1692 for the rear parcel shelf 6X9, had black fiber glass spacer/housings made for it as the shelf is angled.

    Been researching brakes, as it turns out Alliednippon.com are the suppliers to Brembo, Bosch, among others. you can get them direct for a lot less.

    Ill keep this thread updated.

    Daily drivable or not is all a matter of interpretation.
    Cheap, fast, reliable.....you only get to choose two.

    i have the 232/234 in my ve ss m6 , its a great cam made good power , not sure i would want to drive it every day in heavy traffic .
    a change from the 3.45 diff to a 3.7 would make it a more pleasant car to drive and was recommended by vcm when i got the cam .
