hello all
my stereo is shot in my 90 maxima and I have narrowed it down to a definite wiring issue. so, I bought an aftermarket cd player, and I want to run all new wiring to the stock speakers, so this would include ground, power, etc wires for the actual head unit.
can someone help me out and tell me the best way to wire this? I figure the ground should be wasy enough, but where should I bring the remote/power/iginition signal lines to get it working so its on/off when the car is?
thanks in advance!

help with 90 Maxima aftermarket wiring
I recomend buying a test light first off, as well as an add-a-fuse kit...(i'm not sure how they work, but i think it's what you want) your constant power, just grab that from the battery directly. If you have an s14 there's one open grommet on the left side of your engine, i ran wires through there, it comes up behind the dash and you can tuck them out of the way. For your switched power, I'd go into your secondary fuse box inside the car, that should be switched (thus the test light) and use the add-a-fuse kit from there. Ground's easy of course...You shouldnt need a dimmer switch wire or anything. And as far as wiring the doors, good luck...I ran wires to the back of the car in conduit under the center console and back seat, they're only visable for about 2 inches between the back seat and console, and since nobody ever sits back there it's fine....just my 32.3 cents.

In a friends sundance, we just ran speaker wire under the dash and throught the factory door grommets for the front speakers...
