Depends on how much they bend/break when putting it in there lol. But doesn't your warranty say anything about installing aftermarket parts?

If it does void a warranty then if you ever have to take your car to the shop then you can pull it out and hide the wires.

It will not void your powertrain warranty. So scratch that one off your list.
You have a 2010....what warranties do you have left?

Did something happen with your install? And is there more to this story than your telling us?
Otherwise there shouldn't be a problem. I would suggest reading your extended warranty and then the link Ghozt posted above.

well the reason im asking because a couple weeks ago i posted on here asking about my abs, slip, and traction off lights all on, i was told that the brakes were the problem, and so i replaced them, just the fronts though, and their still on, before i replaced the brakes though, i disconnected the battery to see if its just some kind of glitch or what ever you wanna call it in the computer, after i reconnected the battery 20 min later, the lights were still on but then my automatic windows wouldnt go up by them selves after one flick but they go down automatically after one push of the button. so im what im asking is, should i take out my sub and amp before i go to nissan so they could figure out the problem, or even if there is a problem with something. im not to worried about the windows because way before the three lights came on, my passenger window was having the same problem as the both of them now, and it started working again.

The windows not going auto up down is cause you disconnected the battery. I don't remember the process but there's an easy way to reprogram them, just search for it. Not sure about the lights on your dash but I remember reading a thread a few months ago about low brake fluid causing a dash light. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong but I'd check your fluid level.

Your sub connection should have no bearing on the other issues you are having.
Since you have the extended warranty just take the car in and have the dealership address the problems.
You have the extended warranty so use it.
Before going in I would document (in writing) every issue you are experiencing. Make sure they document on the service order each item you have noted on your documentation. Make sure you read it and that all those issues are on the order.
Like I said before understand what the extended warranty covers.
Don't let them begin any work that they want to charge you for that you believe is covered. Never feel intimidated, take an "experienced friend" that could assist you if need be. Good luck.

Ok so I disconnected the battery once more and filled up brake fluid a little and the lights are still on, so I guess I'm just gunna go to the dealership and figure what the hell is wrong because its really annoying seeing these lights while I'm driving

Just switch out your gauge cluster for a custom one.

LOL, I'd switch some of the faces around, and also rework it to go up to 160mph. Personal preference.
