I talked to the local stereo shop guys and I know they are really knowledgable but they said they with the nissan maximas you dont need the PAC kit. They stated that its the way the bose unit handles bose that you wouldnt need it. It would be louder this way but you can adjust it via deck volume.

What do you guys think?

Well it's true you don't need the PAC kit, I've seen Don describe the other way to install it...have no clue about the 'being louder' thing.

 

man who's this Don character...hes seems to be very popular in this area of the site.

 

pearl96max....best guy to ask about any audio/alarm/ anything with electronics...he has an install place and helps out a lot of people including myself(installing, 591xv and 530t window mods) when we are trying to install stuff or find out more information. he is very helpful and informative.

 

oh ok, thanks. he owns a G35...how does he know anything about maximas??????????????????

 

Play nice with the newbs Rich.

 

a noob who's been here for a year and a half?

 

I was referring to Maxima112, but then new to the audio forum, because Rich is the biggest post ***** here. Just look at his join date/post count.

 

in my defense I'd like to say i did plenty of post whoring in the 5th gen forum back when it was cool to be in there...

 

these are key words in this post

 

Because he had a Maxima for quite a while.

 

It is true the PAC or any other adaptor isnt needed. Simply done by adding/splicing male RCAs to your HU speaker leads, then plug them into the aftermarket HU preouts. Theres no power from the Bose HU, just signal. Your basically just replacing the signal source from Bose to aftermarket.

Louder? Doubtful, but possible all dependant on the HU you choose.

 

i know.

 

 

You guys crack me up.
