I have that notorious BOSE system that is a pain and a half to re-wire just to install some aftermarket beat..

Anyways, the self-amplified speakers are making a high-pitched whine and sound like total crap now... Time to throw in my Audiobahns and Memphis highs, I think.

I am wondering what exactly you guys had to do to re-wire it from the stock setup so that you could use a regular aftermarket setup with a little more slump and a clear tune.

Also...If you didn't do it yourselves, and took it to a place to be done professionally, how much did it cost you and what was all done?

Thanks

 

is it an aftermarket head unit?

 

I want to install an aftermarket head unit... yes..

 

well if you want to keep the bose speakers with the aftermarket head then you have to get a adapter which runs from 40-60 bucks , but if you want to hook up the new h/u with new speakers then you just run the wires and hook them up to the new h/u

 

here's some info for ya just in case ::: http://www.geocities.com/bracecraig/maxima/stereo.html ::: from craig b's site

 

In my '92 I pulled new wire and set it up for mutilpe feeds to each speaker location. I put in Blaupunkt speakers and HU, but the amps
don't come till summer.

My winter '89, I just replaced the speakers and HU, but used teh stock wiring. I just taped off the power wires.

or you could do that too ; i tried that but it didn't work but oh well thats me and i just replaced the damn things anyways don't feel like spending the money on getting the bose speaker fixed just to have it go out again ; much rather spend like 50 bucks to get a pair off ebay and replace them

 

IT IS SOOOO EASY TO REWIRE THE SPEAKERS. I still dont know why everybody says its such a big deal. all you need is a wire stripper and a some basic wiring knowledge. e-mail me i'll tell you how to do it...

 

i rewired my car the first weak i had it beacuse i could not stand the bland boring sound of the bose i mean its 4 mid/woofers no tweeters but it really wasnt hard at all it took about 2 hours the backs were really easy of course i ran the wire to the trunk to hook up to an amp anyway, the fronts are not bad either just run the wire through the door boots and your done i used a claw tool you can buy at sears or wearever it makes it really easy and it sounds great now
