Alright, first I send my sincerest apolgoies for putting this in the wrong forum, I understand that there is an Audio & Electronics forum but I've noticed that not many 4th generation maxima owning people are involved as compared to 3rd and 5th.
I have a '96 GXE and I have to replace my rear 6x9's as they are blown and unplugged... I bought the new Alpine SilkDome's and they are supposed to be intense, only problem is I can't figure out how to switch these puppies. Anyone with experience please help me out, send a link, send something.... Give me some instructions just don't tell me "just pop the covers off and unscrew the sh*t" because that's not happening. Thanks guys

 

i might be wrong but arent the 4th gen rears and fronts 6.5's?

 

6x9's in rear

 

So you have the Bose system? If so, I think with aftermarket speakers you will have to use an aftermarket head unit or amp.
-Cyrus

 

i have all aftermarket things now besides my rear speakers... headunit, amps, the works... i was using these 6x9's until they blew and there day has come... now i have to figure out how to take them out and get the new ones in, but i can't figure out a way to do it, the only thing that seems logical is to take the rear deck out, but then i have to take the back seat off.. i was thinking maybe there's something easie than that...
what do you think?

 

From myt understanding the 1995-1999 Maxima's rear speaker size is:
6 3/4 Round size,, jus like the same size on the front door speakers) .
The way to take out the rear speakers you are gonna have to hop in your back seat and pop out the rear speaker panel where the speaker covers are at. You cannot go from the trunk and take the speakers out there. I dunno,, b/c I have not replaced my rear speakers yet,, but you might have to take out the rear seat to possibablyy unsnap the rear speaker floof panel.

I am needin speakers soon for the rear of my 98 Max and I can post once I get to mine.



Good Luck

 

Do you have a Bose Speakers in now ?

 

hummm thats weird. I just went to my trunk and looked at the speakers and there NOT Bose. They are Panasonic Speakers. The stereo deck is an cd/tape/radio player... but I dunno the brand. Does the Mex'es all come BOSE from factory? if not I am cerious what brand my stereo is...... HUMMMM

 

no no no, bose is not standard.. it's like an upgrade in package.. i think mine maybe panasonic also, or whatever the non-upgrade audio is... but it says 6x9 on it, i remember checking so that's the size... more importantly lets get cracking on how i get these rear speakers out to get my new ones in, i was really hoping to do it sunday morning. thanks guys

 

bdogg88,

There not 6x9's I already checked. they are 6 3/4 (round speakers and not oval like 6x9's) I am sure you can put the 6x9s in,, but you are going to need to get an adapter.

Now to get the speakers out.. thats easy. you have the take the rear speaker pannel off and I say prob the full panel itself on the back/rear window. I know on my very old Chevy Bretta I had to remove the rear seat out to pop out the rear pannel take the screws out of the speakers. Now for the 6x9s you are gonna have to make new holes on the metal innerside of the pannel to mount them puppies.
I perfer you to just get tyhe 6 3/4,, makes a less headace. if you wnat bumps... put in a RCA converter and run a sub and amp.

 

6x9??? what trim level do u have??? SE or sumthing?? - cause i got the GXE and they look like 6.5's.....same thing with the front speakers.....they are 6.5's.......according to crutchfield...... maxima dont come with 6x9......

 

All: The BOSE in my '99 is a Clarion CD/Tape/radio that says BOSE on the tape deck door and Clarion on the label on top, with BOSE speakers and amps. The non-BOSE I'm pretty sure is all Panasonic. I replaced my rear speakers (6 1/2" ROUND, NOT 6X9!!) by unbolting and removing the back seat, then lifting up the carpeted parcel shelf. The speaks were screwed in from the top.

My nephew's '92 Max has rear speakers that screw in from the bottom, so you gotta crawl into the trunk and work upside down.

Hope that helps.

 

6x9? 6 3/4? I thought front and back were 6.5...

 

6 1/2 and 6 3/4 are interchangeable... I dunno where this 6X9 stuff came from though.

The headunit is made by Clarion.
If you have the Bose system, speakers are from Bose.
Non-Bose system uses Panasonic speakers.

 

Okay the first thing I did when I bought my car was replace the stereo. You WILL have to take the rear seat out. To do this, search around the bottom front of the seat for two loops (one on each side). Pull these loops to unlatch the seat and pull the seat upwards and out of the car. You will then see the four bolts holding the upper seat back to the frame. Two of them are behind the armrest/skihole. Unbolt all four of those. When the top part of the seat is out of the car you will have to do one more thing. That is to pop up the rear deck. It is held in by plastic clips. Get a screwdriver and pry up on the clips until the deck comes out. Be careful because there are latches on either side that will catch the deck as you pull. After that is taken out, you can access the speakers. Just unscrew them and pull them out. This whole process can take me about 10 mins. now, but took me about 30 when I first did it. Good luck!

 

if you bought the car used that the owner switched the speakers..

the 4th Gen's were never offered with 6x9's

 

teehee, don't mind my 6x9 talk, that was all just to get you guys fired up.. now that i have your attention, i can't just pop out the covers so how do i get the covers out so that i can replace my rear speakers

 

I got a pic for that.. let me go find it..
