Yeah just pull the amp fuse.

I believe it is.

This is only a VT but I believe its the same, #24

Is it possible to turn the gain down on the factory ****? would be my first option.

pulled the fuse, yeh it was number 24 all sorted now, its not really worth it like they do the job at low to medium volume if youve got a fairly new head unit put in but if its the factory head unit they're terrible, going to pull them out and replace them with some 6x9s and an amp eventually

If you pull the left side liner in the boot the amp is mounted behind the wheel well, it's pretty easy to get to. The amp has a fuse and a gain knob, with the Calais I have the gain is set to half so I'm guessing that's where it might be set from factory. Up to you if you want to still run it or disconnect it but I guess it wouldn't hurt to see what it's like with the gain turned down.
