Welcome to NICO.

Are you wanting to put in different speakers or what? If so, just run fresh wire from the new harness back to the new rear speakers.

i think i know exactly what you mean. I have a '94 Maxima and it has clarion speakers in the rear with a built in amp for the rears. so when you turn up the sound, they almost get double amplified. they sound like a blender on a 2x4. they're awful.

so I tried disconnecting the amp wire (it's in the trunk, mounted high), but that never helped. it totally takes those rears out of commission...unless that's what you want. If you do, just disconnect the wiring harness to the rear amp, mounted closer to the left rear speaker, and it looks kind of round/octagon shaped.

I really didn't want to have to tear out seats and pull up carpet and take apart dash just to re-wire 2 speakers that are already there. i was hoping i could somehow select the actual speaker wires and take the amp out of the equation.

yeah bro i really dont wanna rip the carpet out and seats and re wire all the way from the dash its stupid. all i know is best buy said they can do it for $40 i mean if i really wanna do it and i kinda really want too. i might just have them do it. but its like it seems like a waste of money and that it should be cheaper but yeah thanks.

I ended up removing the rear seats, front door panels, lefted carpet edges and installed a new head unit. I tell you it is very worth it. The new sounds are amazing. Put new speakers all around in the 1990 Maxima and sounds better than the 08
