[VegasNate]

Do you know anything about this stereo upgrade?

How many $$$ dollars is the BIG question...

[VegasNate]

Exactly

[Crazy Paul]

Nope, that's the first time I've seen it.
You can buy it cheaper than I can so send them an e-mail and ask how much.

[VegasNate]

Cool. Just figured I would ask since you are the go to guy for HSV parts.

Walkinshaw Performance, Holden, & HSV are 3 seperate entities. But there's some overlap on occasion. If I told you I fully understood it all I'd be lying.

Would be cheaper to drop it off at a stereo shop and have them do it for you...

[VegasNate]

I would probably install it myself. I like the idea of a neat little package and curious about the " factory integration ". I will email them and find out the crazy price.

Let us know M8!:)

[VegasNate]

Here are details. Price excluding tax and shipping is 2700 AUD. Not too hatefull given all that comes with it.(IMO)

O.K., after some research I have found most of those exact components for way less. I don't know exactly which 8" subs they are using though.

[68rustang]

Yeah, other than it being a speaker upgrade "package" I don't see the point.

[68rustang]

Which components of the system have you found and where?

I can't find anything from JBL that exactly matches the given specs...

Closest speakers are the GTO628 (http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=GTO628&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA&cat=MEL&ser=GTO) ~$70/pr but no crossover listed.

Closest amplifier is the GTO3501 (http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=GTO3501&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA&cat=AMP&ser=GTS) ~$180

The sub is a mystery...

Those are the same ones I found: JBL Amp- GTO3501

JBL Speakers- GTO628

The Subs I was thinking might still be Blaupunkt, but even so that amp is a one channel mono amp. Can you bridge it to two subs? Thats where I get lost.

[68rustang]

It all depends on what load you want to present to the amplifier.

I was thinking they are using Blaupunkt subs as well but I can't find any component Blaupunkts in an 8" size.

[VegasNate]

I will probably stick some Rockford Fosgates in there anyways. I had some many years ago when I still had all my hearing. I just want clarity anyways and I hate the stock speakers. It is really last on my mod priorities. I can't stop obssesing over the "Maggie" right now. Hopefully, June will be the month I can get it. New baby on the way so I'm trying to get all I can before the end of October!

Wow, 2700.... my Alpine gear was close on 4000. Mind you, it has A LOT more power than the Walkinshaw upgrade :D

Edit: I should add that my car has been to Walkinshaw for a 'Power Pack' (I/T/E) and coil overs. When they saw my install, they were amazed :p
