Headunit removal with photos....

Calais v amp. The same as what was used in the WM Caprice. This amp has front and rear inputs and outputs plus subwoofer outputs.

These are the line level inputs. Which in the past, I have disconnected the factory amp, soldered on short RCA leads to these and ran them to the amp...

Left Front +/- Blue - Brown/Blue (Line Level no LOC required)
Right Front +/- Yellow - Blue Brown (Line Level no LOC required)
Left Rear +/- Green/Black - Brown/Purple (Line Level no LOC required)
Right Rear +/- Brown/White - Blue/Black (Line Level no LOC required)
Centre Speaker +/- Yellow White - Blue/Yellow (Speaker Level)
Subwoofer Left +/- Blue/Grey - Green Black (Speaker Level)
Subwoofer Right +/- Green/Purple - Grey/Black (Speaker Level)

Great pics for the Head Unit removal, Thanks a heap.
I can confirm that my GTS has the amp in the boot with 5 channels of inputs in one plug then the power and the 7 outputs are in the other two plugs (these have the thicker wires)

 

[Tasmaniak]

Thanks mate.

Is there a more powerful amp that would be just plug and play that you know of?
The factory one in my Redline isnt cutting it for me.

 

[Tasmaniak]

nope, nothing plug and play sorry mate.

SSV won't have the larger amp. Speakers will be driven from headunit and subs will be the small amp in the pictures.

Hey Tasmaniak,

How did you get the + and - for each speaker. I only worked out the rear and have the purple/brown and brown/white as the negative for the rears.

 

[Tasmaniak]

I originally got them from working out one speaker and then following the standardization through main plug. I then received an update from a trusted source that confirmed my suspiciouns.

Hey thanks for the info, it was great to see what theyve put in car.

I dont have the factory amp or parcel shelf speaker, and was planning to put in some rockford ones I have lying around. Do you think the wiring would be in place to just plug and play?
