V35 Bose Stereo

[n15m0]

Hi guys,

I know I said I'd never need to touch the OEM bose system but its only human nature to want more bang for buck..so I was just wondering..with the 8" sub thats on the parcel shelf, is it just a matter of replacing it with another aftermarket 8" or is there more to it? Same with the front and rear door speakers...is there much involved in replacing them? I still want to retain the factory presence.

The Bose system in every Nissan vehicle is one of those annoying PoS' that have custom everything.

From what I've read about the 350Z's Bose, the power amps use custom voltages or something so you can't use aftermarket speakers with them (vice versa with stock speakers and new amps). My understanding is that its the same with the V35.

You can wire aftermarket amps into the factory head unit, which would then allow you to run aftermarket speakers.

jon,

how much $$ do you want to spend on it? we'll start there. I can strip the lot out and STILL retain the screen or we can swap the radio out and keep the rest.

will speak to you on tuesday about it when I pickup your car.

they are different from the norm but it really doesnt worry me. I have the stuff on hand to take car of most things audio related. the whole exercise comes down to $$. these cars aren't the cheapest things to mod audio wise but they are DEFINITELY doable.

Mine will be changed soon and yes it all comes down to money, I am simply pulling the whole standard system out and replacing it with new stuff.

Have been quoted $4500 + labour + double din kit. For this i will end up with a very loud, crisp top end system that will be sure to please anyone. The system includes 4 sets of Boston Splits, 2 MTX subs and MTX amps to run it.

Before you go to far trying to keep it factory look into a full replacement system. Its the only way to get really really goot top end sound.
