    VR - Typical amp wiring location

    in my vr, the rca is on passenger side, power, remote, and 6 x 9 speaker cable on driver side. This seems logical, although there is a on/off missile switch connected to the remote line to turn the amp on and off, although this was a hassle it is worthwhile if ur deck doesnt have sub control.

    Speaker Installation Costs

    Strathfield charge a fortune in Sydney...they wanted $110 to install 6x9's... which is a rip seen as it is a matter of cutting two holes in the parcel tray and running speaker cable to the head unit. if you can do the doors you could easily do the 6x9's as well..there are heaps of how to's on...

    calais front end how much??

    The executive doesnt have the wiring looms for the calais front.u can get an aftermarket version of the calais front for 300 bucks, it looks real but is really just one piece. think that is the best thing if the car doesnt have great security or if its a young driver...but thats just my opinion..
