    installing splits and an amp into a ve sv6 with little experince.. bad idea??

    The VE is very easy to get engine noise when upgrading your stereo. Mounting line converters and crossovers under the seats and paying attention to quality and routing of wires is important.

    The only way to get the bezel to stick down is super glue. The plastic is a lot softer than the original as well as not being identical in shape. Mask up the area and fit the bezel as well as the antenna seated into the bezel. Use a pencil to trace the shape and remove bezel. lay the masking...

    Head unit debate

    The main differences with these 2 units is the JVC has a 5volt line output with it having sub control. The pioneer has one 2volt line output with no sub control. The Pioneer unit is 4 x 22 watts rms and the JVC is 4 x 20 watts rms. The pioneer through an interface module can control an...

    amp wiring, help/advise needed

    Personally if you have not bought the 5 channel amp then I recommend buying 2 amplifiers. One amplifier for the sub makes a big difference because a 5 channel amp has one power supply and this reduces the sound quality or i like to say the bass quality you hear from the speakers because the sub...

    VY stock head unit issues

    I have not seen this problem occur. Sounds like a problem in the steering wheel control if when this happens you can still turn it down using the rotary volume knob at the unit. The quickest and easiest way to tell if the problem is in the s/w control and not the unit is to cut either the...

    0awg or 4 awg wire??

    Im not sure if welders flex has the same amount of strands a car audio power wire does but i think car audio wire has more strands than any other type of wire because it improves transient response faster. Transient response in electrical terms is the time it takes to reach a certain voltage to...

    0awg or 4 awg wire??

    Doesn't sound right that your kicker kit can only supply 1000watts. 1000 watts of power draws at 14.4 volts 69.4 amps of current. 4 gauge wire that is 5 metres long can supply up to 150 amps of current. Just because your amps are 1600 watts does not mean it will constantly draw that power...

    subbs turning off ! cutting out.

    This sounds more like a problem with the amps going into protection because of either heat, over current, or short circuit. You say the amp stays on. Obviously a light on the amp is telling you this. What colour is the light and also is there another light on the amp somewhere. A lot of...

    Recommendation for 2DIN DVD/LCD H/U

    Pioneer AVH-P4250DVD in dash 7inch dvd screen, no rotary volume but its an actual button and a far superior unit than the dna 5.8. The audio output from the dna unit is very poor. With the price you could also get a very nice pair of splits and 6x9's as well as an amplifier to run the sub...

    Amp or no amp?

    Yes the amplifier will make a big difference to the sound as well as your upgrade of the front speakers. The Pioneer unit puts out 18 watts rms effective power and although the current speakers give you good overall sound, the unit does struggle to run them because the unit is capable of...

    Can I fit later higher spec HU to a VT with dead Single CD ?

    Yes you can fit a 6 disc stacker unit into your car. From factory you cannot control an ipod with any VY-VZ unit although you can modify it this way holden - udcaus Or you can FM modulate it 2 ways, through a broadcast method or a wired setup with the latter giving better sound quality

    Setup

    There is no need to run speakers in the rear doors if you have 6x9's in the rear shelf. Personally I find the rear door speakers are too close to the fronts. Its up to your own personal preference if you want to have them running.

    Replacing the VE "head unit"

    You can add an aftermarket unit as well as control it through the steering wheels. [/ATTACH] Also a guy I know who used to work for blaupunkt is developing a single din fascia and a seperate screen for the climate control so you can replace the factory unit and manual HVAC controls. Should...

    What do you think of this setup

    so explain how you would be careful with the amp. dont run the subs in a ported enclosure because the amp doesn't have a subsonic filter or install a crossover. Can you explain to the poster why?

    VZ stereo HELP please

    Welcome to the forums, you probably have blown the fuse when you cut the wires. Pull the fuse panel down under the steering column and check the radio and cigarette lighter fuses. Next time just cut the wires one at a time and try not to let the wires touch.

    Wich sub for box under tray. vs ute

    Ive explained and shown pics of the dual bandpass enclosure for the vs to vz utes. The box design mentioned above fires the woofer directly into a metal panel and only partly into the vent going into the cabin. This causes the woofer to wear harder and faster than normal as well as it being...

    hiding an arial

    You can still keep the antenna mounted just below where it already mounts. Im assuming your reason for this is cosmetic as you want to fill the hole and repaint the panel? Your FM reception will still be acceptable but it will be reduced. AM reception will be reduced more significantly. You can...

    This post should not be deleted as it refers to cars that do not drive on the roads thus not suggesting and illegal mod to a vehicle that would be driven on public roads. Hi, you need to cut the metal under the parcel shelf. It makes the car unroadworthy as you are probably already aware and...
