All dealers are different, some void your warranty for any allterations, others only if the alteration causes a problem. If you want the best sound, Hi-Lo convert the signal, and add an amp with some upgraded 6 1/2 speakers in the doors.

You could always start by swapping out the HU. I thought I would need to get new speakers until I swapped the HU. Now I have a lot more configurability and the audio is perfect. I can go from tons of treble to super muffled bass.

#1 A DEALER CAN NOT VOID A WARRANTY. They can only make that recommendation to the warranty company. If a dealer won't honor a warranty from Nissan, try another dealer & call 1-800-NISSAN-1.

#2 THE WARRANTY COMPANY MUST PROVE YOUR ALTERATION CAUSED THE FAILURE. This is not state specific, it is FEDERAL LAW.

Do you let your dealer push you around? Autonation in Denver is like that, so they will never get any of my business again. I put on a suspension lift & larger tires and a motor mount broke driving around town. Autonation said the part wasn't covered, but I went to a better dealer & they honored the warranty. A dealer makes a killing off warranty & recall work if they have good technicians. Nissan pays set times for each repair, if they complete it faster, they still get paid for the fixed time at that shops rate.

I knew they had to prove the alteration caused the problem, but I did not know a dealer can void a warranty!

Your best bet is a set of good speakers. DOn't have to get top of the line but dont get Kmart or Pep Boys specials. After having a Chrysler Sebring, I am partial to Infinity speakers. Match that with a good head unit, again any name brand one should do the trick. Get a quality company's products even if it's entry level and you cant go wrong. A lot of people have preferences, but in reality it's not gonna make a huge difference one from the other.

I swear I should request a sponsorship with NICO to be able to sell things, I could get you guys some good deals on car audio, video, and security. But I am not to sure what is involved and all that. But if you want some nice sounding speakers that are fairly cheap, upgrade your front stage to Eclipse PS6500's, and leave the rear stage stock until you can get some Eclipse SE8365's. Not cheap, but not all that expensive. This will give you a nice system with good low end w/o a sub, and crisp mids and highs. Later you can upgrade your HU to get even better sound, and possibly add an amp to get even cleaner sounding music! I am still waiting on the fedz to get my PS6500's for my front stage. Hopefully after I get my windows retinted.

We are always looking for new sponsors that can supply members with good prices on products. You can contact Greg and he can give you the run down on sponsorship.
