I just looked at the battery on my I35 for the first time today, and noticed the clamp on the pos post has some type of plastic housing and a fuse. Is this for the bose system? Does the Maxima have the same? Anyone replace the factory housing with an aftermarket battery clamp?

Thanks,

although not an i35 my 2000 maxima has the similar set up....i need too connect a 4 gauge ring terminal somewhere... and im not sure how too go about it.... if i can just replace it all with an aftermarket one or not.....so im here waitin for a respone with ya danhaman

 

If you lift the cover theres a 10mm bolt that you can add a ring terminal to for adding an accesory line. Otherwise, yes you can change the terminal all together.

 

thanks for the reply pearl, one more question, i tried too search but came up empty, wheres the best way too route a 4 gauge wire through a 2k maxima on the drivers side?.....figured no sense in making a new topic, this is battery terminal related :O

 

I ran my 4g wire through a grommet in the fender well.

 

Do you know what the fuse is there for? I haven't had a good chance to really look at it, is it just a fused power distro for the stereo?

Thanks,

I highly doubt that there a special wire from the battery simply to power the stock stereo- even the stock bose. Today i rode in my friends 2001 i30 with bose and it truly was a laughable expereince I had to ask him to turn it down because the "sub" woudl not stop belching, It was truly a joke. Nissan should be ashamed of the max. i3o setup. Although his 2001 i30 sure did feel more powerful than my 99 max. ho hum

 

That was just my guess, but now I'm curious. Most OEM 'specialty' manufacturers [Bose for infinity & acura, etc. . .] are still not great stereos, but to joe blow they sound just fine [witness the kudos to the I35 for it's stereo, from car reviews everywhere]. [It does sound much better than the Bose system in the Acura RSX, btw].
