Howdy All:

If you would not mind I would like some thoughts on a new system for my 96 Maxima. Here are the items:

Head Unit - Sony Xplod ES CDX-M750
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...DXM750&o=M&a=1

Amp - Sony Xplod XM-405EQX 5 channel
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...M405EQ&o=M&a=1

Speakers - Sony XS-V1621 for the rears and Sony XS-V1631 for the fronts
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...SV1631&o=M&a=1

Subwoofer - Sony Xplod XS-L1230
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...SL1230&o=M&a=1

RCA Input - Sony XA-107
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...8XA107&o=M&a=1

I figure this should work well for me and with the RCA input I can input MP3 tunes from my Ipaq. I looked at MP3 decks that are out now but do not like the current choices. Besides this way I can just copy any tunes I wish to a 1gb microdrive and play for quite a while.

I would appreciate your thoughts and if anyone knows what other items I might need I would appreciate it. This is my first foray into doing this type of work in a car.

Best regards, tony

That sound's like a good system, I have some friends that bouht some Xplod stuff and they are pleased with it.

Sony really did their homework on this line of products, they are alot better then their previous merchandise

Sounds like a good system.. Sony's Xplod line is pretty good. Good luck.

The headunit and amplifier are decent choices. I've never been a fan of Sony speakers or subwoofers though the prices are certainly affordable.

I've never been a fan of speakers from any of the mass market brands (Sony, JVC, Panasonic etc.) Generally speaking they don't put any worthwhile effort into speakers as they do with electronics.

BTW be sure to order an amplifier installation kit, and get the Nissan factory harness adapter and dash install kit that Crutchfield offers.
