did you bypass the factory amps all around?
you should not be using them with aftermarket equipment

BruceM99

If i bypass the amp then wont that make the back speakers not as loud?

my speakers didn't work at all till i figured out i had to bypass the amps.... but if u got an alpine head unit u should probably match the amp to the head unit heres a cheap amp i was planning to get for my alpine system

that's a nice one, my back speakers work amazing and are so loud its hard to notice the fronts are quiet. but it is noticeable and i want them all to be loud.

i had the same problem when i did mine...my front speakers were pioneer and were relatively new so i didn't wana replace them i just got the head unit and these rear speakers: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1166840026861

but as soon as i got them the rears just drowned out the front even though i thought the fronts were loud i still had them replaced the next day because the rears were so loud i had to drive with the fader on 15 just to make it sound balanced....but heres what i got up front try swapping them out they are definetly stonger than your infinity speakers check the stats http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1199495218609

yea those are 6x9s though, and the front speakers are already brand new i don't think switching them out would do much of a difference, i have already tried.

If you haven't bypassed your bose amps, do it.
your HU already has a amp inside to run your speakers.

if you do not bypass the bose amps, in the long run it will possibly damage either your HU or speakers from what I've been reading from other users. since those amps were made to run speakers @ 1ohms and most aftermarket speakers are 4ohms. to use those amps properly you need a bose HU and bose speakers, otherwise bypass them.

BruceM99

as i said earlier i never had the bose system

Sorry I misunderstood

then you had/have the active speaker system which had/has a single amp in between the 2 rear speakers. BYPASS it, it is the reason the rear sounds louder than the front.

BruceM99

yea thank you, but will that make the back speakers quieter?

internetautomar

yes. right now the amplified rear output from you head unit is being amplified by the amplifier on the rear deck which the factory installed on car with the active speaker system. It only amplified the rear speakers not the fronts.

is my HU toast or what?

I just got my hands on a used 94 Maxima with the Bose stereo system. I don't know if the HU is broken. The previous owner blames the amp.

When I press power, the antenna goes up but nothing is displayed on the unit.

Seems like people always have issues with this HU.

Thanks

how do you bypass the amps

4 wires on the amp plug. thick wires = power. thin wires = signal. so just put the thin wires on your new speakers and cap off the thick wires.

So I tired to bypass my factory amp for the back deck speakers. And I did everything as it was said to do. But when I was done, and turned the car on nothing happened. The radio did not come on, or the clock. After alot of rewiring I got it all to come back on, I had to wire all the wires to their normal selfs, except the yellow wire and the yellow wire w/ green stripe. I had to wire them together. But The radio and clock reset themself's to the default settings each time the car is turnned on and off, and the keypad no longer works with the car off. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

have you tried to check the fuses? i am not sure if the keypad and the constant power to the clock/radio (for maintaining proper time) are on the same circuit, but that should be the first thing you check.

Accessory line grounded out somewhere so as not to keep in continuous circuit with the battery? People this is not hard... You run and amp kit for the new amp... that doesn't interfere with any existing wiring... You're head unit should be able to push enough power to all your component speakers to just run off it (that is if you're buying quality stuff) and then you simply run the HU to the amp for a Sub line (or your components if you have to have that setup) and boom you're done! The only time you splice into factory wiring is for the HU wiring harness that's it... Never reuse factory amps! It's always a bad idea if you're "upgrading" your sound system.
