Sub and Amp in 2016 Maxima question
Hey guys I'm new on here but I am putting a 12" Subwoofer and a 1000watt amp in my maxima SL with Bose audio System. After the shop installed it I am get a ton of feedback. they have used different parts, moved the jacks, but nothing will get rid of the feedback. It will happen while idle, when I push the gas. Will stop if I open a door or put the windows down. Has anyone had this problem? Been looking online but haven't found a maxima with a bass system yet. Help

I talked with a car audio shop a few weeks ago and they said cars with active noise cancellation (ANC) can get false correction when adding a sub. Most systems allow the user to turn off the ANC. Look in the manual to see if you can turn it off. If it sounds better... that's your answer. If not, it is likely a grouding issue.
Anyone know if the ANC will work when modding the engine (intake, exhaust, etc.)?

Just had my amp and sub installed tonight and the active noise cancellation reared its ugly head. My shop needs to find out how to disconnect/deactivate the interior microphones. They said the have seen this this on several luxury models, but did not have the maxima specs readily available. I need to give them a few days with Christmas upon up to get the specs. I'm am not worried, yet...

Found out how to stop the feedback without disconnecting the noise cancelation mics.

It does work I went back to the dealer a drove a base model maxima to get an idea of the difference when I was thinking about disconnecting the mics then someone posted this on facebook. I turned the cancelation system of and drove around a little and the difference is not really noticeable. My 12s work perfect now

I heard from another user on here:
1. Turn off your radio
2. Press and hold the "Menu" button while spinning the volume button
3. Scoll down to ANC ANS feature.
I have done this and will be installing my amp and sub soon as well. Hope this actually helps.

Hey did u ever get around to installing the amp and sub. I'm planning on doing the same, just trying to collect some notes.
#15
I did and it worked. I installed everything, forgot to turn the ANC off and heard that horrible feedback. Immediately turned it off and it is fine now.

Yep, I installed a JBL self powered sub enclosure in the trunk and I have to disable the ANC every time the battery is pulled or fuse blows, as it is enabled by default. Without disabling it, the sub goes ape**** even without the radio on. I tested it out several times but couldn't tell any perceivable difference between having it on or not, especially if there is any other sound in the car like the radio.
#19
I'm also about to tackle this. I'm thinking of wiring the line out converter in the trunk but not sure if I should do it before the factory Bose amp or after. If before, anyone know the colors for the +/- and L/R at the amp
#20
Here's some pics of what I did.. note I tapped the speakers directly, the bose system uses weird voltage for their speakers and such, so I put it behind the amp.
Drilled a hole there for the ground (black wire with yellow near tip)

What color are the positive and negative wires at the rear speakers. Is there a wiring diagram. I'm going to tap in at that point to feed my line out converter.
#27
All that stuff is way over my pay grade!! Looks bad *** though. But in all honesty, what does having the sub woofer do for the overall sound of the system since it seems you left the original Bose speakers in place.

If you remove glovebox there is a grommet up and slight right that passes through the firewall. There was a thread on it but I can't seem to find it. If you search 7th gen it's in the same spot. Kind of a pain to get up in there if you're a bigger guy but that's where I ran my 4ga, probably won't get any thicker wire through there though. Wasn't too hateful, just will use a bit extra wire running it through eng. compartment to battery on drivers side.

Get you one of these, you don't need a remote turn on wire. This LOC will sense speaker signal then activate it's own remote on to hook up to the amp. Best LOC I ever purchased. Actually used it to replace a cheap $15 one I had that lost a channel. Sound quality went up about 3X in my layman opinion. Same amp, same woofer, considerably more/clean punch. Seriously the best piece of gear I've ever used.

BTW, that LOC does require power too, but you just run a thick line to the AMP from the battery, run a smaller gauge wire from that power connector on the amp to the 12v on the LOC, and of course ground both. Then leave the "remote In" on the LOC empty, just run another smaller gauge wire from the "remote out" to the remote on at the amp. When the stereo goes off the amp shuts off in maybe 3-5 seconds after. I was floored how nice that was, 30 years of putting bass in cars, I can't believe I never went this route. It was a "where have you been all my life" moment, good thing I was alone...
Edit: Oh, and Instant on too...it's not like you get all the highs then the bass kicks in a few seconds later, by the time the radio is playing, bass amp is already on.

Yep this is the one I’m using. I’m helping out a guy I know down the street with this install. I usually never use LOC, but I know this one is pretty good. I think I’m going to run the power wire on the glovebox side. Just need to remove it now to get the grommet.
