2006 Infiniti M45 Sedan.
One of my speakers in the back are blown, and I feel this is a good opportunity to put a system in the trunk.
( http://www.kicker.com/10DC122 ) (subwoofer link) ( http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130X6700BT ... Model.html ) (Radio link) Is it possible to replace the radio with the Pioneer in the dash in order to get the best quality from the subs? What is the best radio unit for the Infiniti M45 2006 so that i can get max volume from the subwoofer. Has to have an aux cord.

Thank You

Welcome to the site.

No. You cannot use an aftermarket radio on this car without some SERIOUS SERIOUS SERIOUS ($$$$) customization. The entire system in this car is tied into the voice commands, etc.

how do i take out that system? it being 2015, the system(navigation, voice commands, etc.) in there is basic to this years models and is very difficult to maneuver around. i wont miss it if i take it out. is there a way to take it out, and what sacrifices are there if I take it out. (a/c?, steering control?)

Thank You

Voice commands, navigation, climate control, etc. Who knows what else.

This will cost thousands in fabrication, electrical work, re-engineering the whole setup, etc. IMO it's a complete waste. Just get some tuners inline and improve the setup with speakers.

the sound system was very good before. bass was deep and rich in quality(with hip hop). but now the bass is faded and can barely hear it. and there is a light rattling sound in the rear speakers. any tips ?

You just need to upgrade the speakers. They do go bad if you abuse them (the paper in the speaker gets more loose or whatever).

Also depends on the quality of the media file...some songs play great on mine and some suck.
