hey fellas its my first time posting here ive got an 88 exec just wondering if anyone knows of any decent spots in sydney to get my system wired up and installed preferribly ones that know their way around a vl any input will help cheers

mate, its not hard, you can probably even attempt it yourself; but, in my opinion, any audio installer would do near same job as someone whos done more on a vl. just depends what your after really.Mdf boards in the boot etc.

i dont trust my self to do it haha i just want the job done right the first time ive heard of some dodgy people i just wanna know the experiences people have had and whos right for the job if you know what i mean. thanks mate

strathfield and jb hifi will install stuff BUT... because they are a little lazy the wiring isn't always the best. i would recomend finding a higher end car audio store. there is a dedicated incar entertainment forum called mobile electronics australia. they will be able to point you in the direction of a good joint. best of luck! oh and if you want it done right do it yourself!

yep its not too hard to install h/u speakers, amp and sub in a vl if you've never done it ive done it a few times now and its easy, and i know it hasnt been done dodgy

mm, id disagree on the h/u danny. i got my h/u installed for $80 and there was a 5 year warranty on the install and problems caused by the install. (autobarn) worked well and i had peace of mind however when i went to remove the h/u i wasn't very impressed by the wiring job.

But it will require a bit of reading up to know how to do it all right. However, VLs are known to be a pain in the arse when it comes to installing headunits. In my last VL the surround had been butchered a bit by previous owner. If I was was installing a system again in a VL, I would probably pay a shop to install the headunit, but I would do the rest of it myself. You should pay particular attention to the way you install the speakers - it can make a big difference to the sound.

try sound master granville...failing that maybe ryda.

yeh i no you asked for a good shop to do it for you but its easy... read up on the H/U install on the net and the rest is just easy. have a read on tuning amps and you'll be fine, like SIroller said if you want it done right do it yourself. take your time and double check **** before soldering and i would recommend spending the extra 20 bucks and getting some good quality cabling it will make a difference in sound and long life durability.. and get a capacitor lol, will make a whole world of difference to your sub good luck Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
