Ok so i want to get a 7in screen and a pretty good single DIN CD/DVD/Mp3/Radio player to take the little drawrs space

1) I have a 98 I30 with the bose, i cant really afford new speakers is there somthing to make the HU work with my bose speakers (different IMP.) if so how do i connect it and how well do they work. also if you know of a good one let me know.
2)If i have to change my speakers what do you reccomend.
3)Whats a good HU that will do what i want
4)Any other info you've got or reccomendations for this swap
Thnaks

 

1)Theres a $50 adapter which Scosche and Pac make to make your new head unit work with Bose. Or you can get a radio with at least front and rear preouts, and splice that directly to the speaker wire at the back of the deck, so the Bose amps will see that unamplified signal.
2)theres too many to choose...but for the basics, check alpine, infinity, etc....whats your budget for the speakers
3)Pioneer dvh-p5000mp is pretty good for not too much $...whats your budget for this too

a new HU is nice but you'll still have those crappy BOSE speakers.
if you want to replace it all cheap...it doesn't really matter what you go with.
almost any aftermarket speaker will sound better then the bose.
personally i don't like going the cheap route. i like the do it once and do it right approach.
good luck.

ya get that Pac adapter too...

 

ok so i couldnt find scorsche's site
and i know im not to smart with this stuff but what do i need from these guys?http://www.pac-audio.com/products/oem1.htm

Also my bose system has amps at each speaker? is that right?

 

yes pretty much. i think the rear is only one amp if i remember correctly...
goto any car audio shop around town. they will sell you one.

so you own all of those cars in your sig?

 

An adaptor really isnt needed. Provided the HU you get has at least 2 sets of preouts then you can simply splice Male RCA ends into the Bose HU outputs, then plug into the aftermarket radio preouts.

Heres a pic for reference..

 

And that will sound good?

 

Ill put it this way...A/V/E is my business and Ive been in the industry for 17 years. The pic posted above is of my wifes fully Diamond Audio equipted Altima. I wouldnt suggest it if it didnt work properly.

 

Is the wife into car audio?...if so, damn, i need to find me a girl like that
