I was just wondering what XM Satellite Radio HU you recommend? I also wanted to get a nice 4 channel amp. I'm going to keep the existing stock speakers. I've already replaced the sub and sub amp. My stock HU skips like crazy until it warms up which took 20 minutes this morning and it was only 37 degrees this morning.

 

Alpine CDA-7894

 

the pioneer xm ready headunits are good also the 8400 or the 9400

 

I have a pioneer xm ready deh6400. only thing I hate about it is that theres only 2 outputs instead of 3 with the higher models

 

Will I have to buy a seperate XM receiver? How are the stock speakers crossed over? Is it at the speaker itself or is the bose amp doing it? I just don't want to spend the money for new seperates and coaxes this year. Should I take the car into Nissan to show them the skipping when it's cold outside? It was mid 50's this morning and it took 15 minutes for the radio to warm up and stop skipping.

I just got all new carpeting, wood floors on the 2nd floor, Maxima, all sorts of mods for the Maxima and lots of other things that I've purchased this year. I need to calm down.

 

not shure about the x overs with the bose but you would need to buy the reciever and antenna for the XM and also the subscription

 

Has anyone heard the Alpine Type R seperates?

 

yea, i have the 7400mp, and it does kinda suck about the pre outs, but i got a good deal, so, what the hey.

does the 6400 also have the organic EL display?

 

I have, they actually sound like speakers priced higher. But this is audio and that's just my opinion

 

Yea mine has the organic display with the dolphins and all that.

 

I've got a Sony CDX-M730 and I love it, does XM too. I may switch back to an Alpine someday, but I wanted to try something different this go around. 3 outs, XM ready, all that. There's a sweet Clarion you might like, but its Sirius.

Yes, you need a receiver, about 170-200 bucks, usually free install at places like Best Buy
