I have had my 95 J30t for 3-4 yrs. now. My dad bought it brand new and gave it to me after a collision. I was thinking about putting subs and an amp into it. I would like to keep the stock hu. i dont like din fillers and it works fine anyways. Is this possible to do? And can I hook after market 6x9's up by simply switching them out? I've seen a lot on the NICO forums about single amp crossovers for each speaker. Does this pose a dilema?

[brandonjustice93J30]

two ways to do that...

# 1... and the least amount of connections would be to get a 3 or 4 channel amp with high level inputs, locate the signal wires going to the factory bose 6x9's and tap into that signal. Then run 2 channels to the replacement 6x9's and bridge 2 channels of the 4ch or if you get a 3 run the mono to the sub.

# 2... if you cant find an amp with high level inputs...connect an adapter, then amp/amps

Everybody is blowing this out of order ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BUY SONY EXPLODES 6X9 Sounds great with amp.

Welcome to Nico Freddie .. Neighbor Are the Explodes 1 ohmr's ?

[edgartheace]

I have to agree about the Sony Explodes. I replaced all of my Bose speakers with Sony's and it's sounds way better than before.

pfft.... i just swapped my rear 6x9's with the cheap wal mart crap. the sound is decent, so i got no problems with them.

[Freddie75150]

im not sure how many ohm's neighbor how is the paint job on your infiniti?

[fogged306]

The sony's are 4 ohm, I believe the stock bose are 2 ohm, so you will be feeding it half the power, technically, but you probably won't really notice.

[Freddie75150]

you dont it accually sounded louder

You should never mix the bose with aftermarket, the levels are way too different. The stock Bose system runs at 2 ohms, all aftermarket stuff is 4 ohms (unless your looking at massive competition subs, which take TONS of power at 2 ohms, with an efficient amp) The line level that inputs into the Bose amps is a higher voltage than you will want to use for the pre-amp inputs on an Amp, this is a very quick way to destroy the input circuit on an amp. And if you try to use the line-level input on the amp, you will run into the problem of the 2 Ohm system, which will fry the line-level inputs on your amp.

I've seen adapters which will turn the pre-outs of your aftermarket deck into the right level input for the bose amps, but the bose amps have a tendency to fail over time, and make awful noises, and then your limited to about 10 watts at 2 Ohms for the bose, which equates to about 5-7 watts at 4 ohms. So the sound output levels of the bose system isnt that great compared to aftermarket options.

The best thing to do when anything in the sound system starts to go out, is to save money and go to a full aftermarket system, then you will have much better sound.
