IN A 2000 NISSAN MAXIMA, CAN THE BOSE CD PLAYER/TAPE DECK BE REPLACED WITHOUT A HASSLE IF IT NEEDS REPLACING?
Actually just put Kenwood deck in my 1996 Infiniti Bose factory craziness and just needed the Scosche FAI-4 interface for gain adjustments, Walmart 9bucks on clearance, and sounds much better than the factory Clarion Bose deck that is garbage, they are short lived and non repairable. Get the correct harness adapter and you don't even need to cut factory wires. Almost plug and play. That's what I'd do
Not as easily as you'd think! Your Bose speakers and amp are made to recieve very low output from the dash (1 ohm), so rca lowlevel outputs are a must, or youll blow your system! and dont even think about running your HU directly to the speakers either ( I know they sound great, but they can really only handle 5-10 watts MAX)
Make sure you get the harness adapter that has rca outs. Youll need to find a deck that has 2 pairs (or 4 total rca outs)! Because stupid Bose makes everything difficult...
Dont get the generic one from walmart (for hondas, and nissans 1994 and up) or from bestbuy (theyll outright lie to you, and then charge you double for everything!)
Your deck shouldnt power you speakers, so let your factory amp do that...
itll sound better, but this work around isn't the best.
If I were you, I'd just shell out the cash for some cheap new speakers. CHeap speakers would sound WAY better with a new head-unit that does not integrate your bose system at all. Plus, itll save you a lot of frustration. Bose systems are notoriously finicky with aftermarket systems anyway.
Good luck!
Yes, many aftermarket radio/CD players are made that will fit. Look on WWW.Crutchfield.com
