I currently have a 2003 Maxima with a stock non-bose stereo system. Everything was working fine until I went into a restaurant, bought some food, and when I turned the car back on after I was done there was no sound coming from the right side. Its been this way for about a week. What could have...

I'd suggest buying a used head unit if you can. If you can't, no biggie. For ur budget I'd avoid amping the door speakers right now. Look into a cheap cadence set, boston acoustics or a decent set of coaxial. Apparently Pioneer has some nice ones. I'd spend ur money on one nice sub like an...

Good to hear^^^ Was it a fairly straight forward install? And do you mean 35ft all together for both doors? (I have the same wire)

Hey, I recently got a 2003 nissan maxima sedan. I'm getting ready to have this system finished and I want to make sure I'm in the clear and have everything I need covered. I will be installing components which are running off a 2channel in the trunk. I have 70ft of speaker wire. So cut in half...

haha is there any advantage to just doing that compared to one with a headunit that offers the application? As in, it doesnt lag as much or the sound is better? B/c if its the same I'll prob buy a cheaper one.

I'm looking into a few headunits and they offer HD radio as well as Pandora streaming. For anyone who has either please let me know how you like those features. -Is HD radio that much better? Do you find yourself using it a lot? -Does the pandora have to buffer a lot or lag? Let me know what...

1) For someone who understand steering wheel controls. On a few sites it says the alpine is "steering wheel remote ready" From searching around, I'm told that means when installing this, something in the wiring harness will connect to let me keep my steering wheel controls. Am I correct? Is it...

Thanks! I'm still on the fence about keeping it. Biggest issue is I can't get a straight answer if the steering wheel adaptor will work with this HU.

yeah? How come? It's an older alpine with 2.5V pre amp outs. Wouldn't the Kenwood with 4V pre amp outs sound better?

I bought my Alpine CDE 9881 from a pawn shop for 50 bucks back when I had my old car and I recently got a nissan maxima. One thing I rly hate, this headunit has no aux in front or USB. I have had a few people offer me $65 for it (is that a decent price?) and I think I might sell it and get...

It'll still be awesome on 500rms. Just because you arent given it rated rms doesnt mean it wont sound good. You could run the 2000rms zcon on 500rms. The sub will sound good and for a daily setup 500-600rms imo is great. So your saving you already have a Dcon? You can run one on 500rms as long...

yeah, there is no problem under powering a sub. It will still slam and there isnt much difference between 500-700rms in terms of what you will hear. I'd just rather get one sub compared to 3, any not many people yet are running gcons so it'll be kinda different. More cone area with 3 12's but...

I'd just do 3 personally, but if you want 4, go at it. Also, def do the big 3 and MAYBE a 2nd small battery in the back. That amp is an A/B and running 500+ rms off an A/B will prob drop voltage a decent amount on those lower notes. Would be a sick system though. You could also do a single...

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for them. I'll def try to hit up the one this sunday.

^^^Do you know if there will be any more around the Gurnee/Waukegan area this summer?
