Aaaaw shucks, thanks mate! :thumbsup:

Btw, be sure to let us know about the RCA outputs on the back of the factory head unit if/when you find out. Looks like KAL SPL is MIA!!

From what i heard from a VE SS owner in the forum they dont have RCA's, also sux how the heater control and stereo are the one unit. Heres the post

Excuse my ignorance - what are the 2 cables with a yellow tip and round ball?

lock and door handle?

Sorry guys been busy fitting tranny to my Calais for burnout comp.

4 days of driving for 3 minute burnout . . .

Yeah the cables are the door lock and handle.
The black plug Im going to assume is for the DVD overhead factory fitted Calais screen.
I didnt go as far as removing plugs and deck but Im assuming what you see is all that olds it in , also the aerial plug in the other side of the deck.
When get someone willing to let me have free reign on 1 I will post more details ,this car was brand new undelivered from Holden dealer here , they have great trust in me and I know my cars so there is no risk to new car warranty.

I get paid to do this and make a good livig from it.

Guys - just to elaborate on the speaker impedance thing....

Calais even from VY have had the "premium" sound system - the H/U looks the same, but has different power amp chips suitable for 2 ohm loads. (the standard system is designed for 4 ohm)

The tweeter also being 2 ohm doesn't add the impedances in series, the tweeters have an additional component which only allows high frequency energy to the tweeter itself, and is simply placed across the bass/mid speaker - ie, in parallel. The whole reason for going 2 ohm is that you can push more power into it at the same voltage, although it does cost just a little in speaker efficiency. (higher impedance speakers tend to be more efficient)

Hmmm - Davey - might have to organise a VE as a "guinea pig" for my line out mod..... (in fact, I reckon it would be EASY - probably use the same setup, certainly the circuits themselves anyhow....)

Cheerz!

PS - Nice pics KAL - thanx! :thumbsup:

Good idea mate. I'd say you'll be getting some VE customers soon.

I'll be coming to see you when I get mine! :thumbsup:

Hi can anyone confirm if the cables are as marked on this pic?

 

[Phreddy]

Damn!! Wish someone would let me "guinea-pig" their VE!!

Use mine... Only thing is you'd have to travel.

Im loading pics of todays efforts , fitted a car kit to a Calais and couldnt resist stripping every panel I could in the search for knowledge !

Hey KAL SPL,
Great pictures, I'm currently attempting to remove my front door panels, but after unscrewing the screws around the door (I think about 7 of them including the one hidden between the armrest) I was unable to get the door off? am I missing something or does it need a little gentle leaverage to get the panel all the way off?
