Come see me and I'll sort it out for you... If you remove the deck, your car will not start again.

The VE is possibly one of the worst vehicles ever for high quality stereo integration due to the poor quality (both build & sound) of the built in stereo system.

We have now got it down to a fine art as we have done over 150 of them.

To get a (minimum) good sound, you'll need a good quality 4 channel amp, 6.5" splits, decent 6.5" rears and a single quality sub-woofer. You'll also need a high quality line level converter to convert the low grade speaker signal into a reasonable quality RCA level signal & plugs.

You'll also need other things such as high quality RCA leads (twisted pair as a minimum and keep them as short as possible), high quality twisted pair speaker cable (for both the speaker level input & speaker out from the amp), multiple ground loop isolators and also a high amperage power filter.

If you have the factory fitted colour LCD screen, we can also integrate that and add DVD, reverse camera, sat nav, PS2/3 etc...

We are also the only company in WA that can offer the Video in Motion override for the factory screen... This will allow you to use the LCD for moving pictures (DVD etc) while moving. All other car audio shops in WA get us out to override it for you (thats if they even know it exists). We can also change the start up logos on your colour screen when you start the car.

We are putting an article together for the next issue of Perth Street Car Mag to enlighten everyone to the possibilities with these vehicles.

PS... We also have Supercharger & Turbo kits for the VE's :)
