cool speaker idea
I was thinking about replacing the front component speakers as well as the rear speakers in the door. the catcher is I also want to put 4 6x9's on the rear deck. I would integrate them in and make it look clean. I already have a sub in the trunk.

back speakers ONLY exist for one reason. to fill inthe missing air gap. 90% of your sound is created from front speakers. why do people try to put 8's in the front. the more midbass, the better soundstage. alpines gti has 4 6.5's and 4 tweeters up front. why so many...all soundstage.
i'm pushin 150x2 into my fronts. out of that 150, about 25 of that is going into the rear speakers. they don't have to be loud at all, only there for filling in gaps. just like the center channel speaker filling in that center soundstage. it pulls you into the center, filling the huge gap from your right ear to the right side of the car.

I understand to some degree but what about the direction that the sound is coming in from the back. the speakers are so low in the door that the sound has does not have a good path in which to flow. I would think that speakers in the rear deck could in no way degrade the quality of the sound

Newman: what i mean by soundstaging is imagine a basic home theatre system. you are watchign tv straight ahead, you ahve 2 speakers up front, 2 in the back, and a sub in the front middle and also a center channel. if you sat in the middle, you want the sound to come from all directions, and ARRIVE at the same time. but if you're watching tv, why do you want louder sound coming from the back. you dont'. if anything, you want simple sounds (vocals, sound effects, etc...) to coem from the back. like i said before, it fills in a gap in your surrounding sound. you hear everything up front, and nothing in the back. adding just a little bit of sound will fill in that missing area, and your music will sound complete. center channels add to that by adding sound to the middle front, which in a way complete the gap that exists there as well. dont' expect to put much power though. if you had, for example, 100 watts going into a left and right speaker, i'd say like 15 watts would suffice for a center channel. it doesn't produce much sound at all, only the bare minimum to complete the area. same as rear speakers.
hope that made sense, if any...

I was thinking about putting the components(alpine type R) in the front and coaxials (alpine type R) in the back with my sub in the trunk. I would have my alpine 100wattx4 amp pushing the coaxials and the components while my sub is on a different amp. do you really think that will be enough or is adding on a pair or two of alpine 6x9's on the rear deck a viable option

i have a 150x2 amp. fronts are doing about 120-130. the xover has a rear speaker input, and is made to pull about 20-30 watts out. also crossovered so it only recieves mainly vocals and any sounds in the high frequency range. that's totalling about 300 watts, and i hurt my ears everytime i blast it. at 100x4, i doubt you'll ever get the chance to fully blast it.
simply put, i woulnd' worry about it being "loud enough". it'll be plenty.

I also want to get a new head unit but I am worried how it will look. Even with a good installation will it just not look clean b/c of the amount of space that will be left and that the air condition module kind of blends into the stereo unit.

i wouldn't mess with the back deck. if you ask me, it was hard enough just doing all the wiring for the six speakers. plus, putting speakers in the back deck would mean cutting some holes, do you really want to do that?

you can get a dash kit specific for your year that will fill in the spaces. if i had a pic of mine, i'd post it. the color actually matches pretty well, and i now have an extra little storage shelf for random stuff. also, be careful pulling the thing apart, these are hidden screws all over the place, like in the ash tray!!!

GXE Radio trim ($85 from DAVEB) fills in the trim area, and also follow the contours of the center console. this is my headunit. tv/dvd up top with pocket to hold my wallet, remote, etc...the ONLY issue i have is the headunit sticks out 1" past the console, but that can be easily fixed by adding new mounting holes. if you have a regular headunit though, you won't have this problem, most tv units have htis problem because the angle of the tv may hit the console, so they are designed to stick out as far as the screen angles back.

888-254-6060, ask for Dave Burnette. say you from maxima.org. you need the GXE radio trim. that's the most perfect match. i don't have a picture of the aftermarket radio trim kits, but i hear they are not as perfect matching, i may be wrong, but i did hear that. they are significantly cheaper though, like $12-$25. big difference from $85. but 85 is still better than from local nissan which is like $140. YIKES!!!
