until you guys changed out the audio in your new cars? Curious

 

hhhm for the max it mustve been about seven months or so after i got the car.. Yea i got the car about 2 years ago, last summer the the bose hu was going on me so thats when i added an amp and all that nonsense.

 

A couple days....

 

damn Avi...7 months?? long **** time compared to Don

i'm just nervous about ripping the dash apart . damn nissan clips are so easy to break.

 

The 6th gen isnt too bad Gordon, just like any other car. Actually just as easy as doing the G.

Im hoping your changing the comps before ya do it though...

 

the speakers suck. driving back home from the dealer, i decided to see how loud it'll get before distortion hits...it barely went halfway

the dash pretty easy to remove in your G?

 

Easy? Yes. Time consuming...Oh yes

 

BTW...I do keep the dash kits for the 6th gens in stock.

 

haha time consuming eh? not too worry about that, as long as i don't fubar anything.

i've been reading up the 6th gen. looks fairly simple...

 

really...didn't know that...

how much?

 

It is, not a big deal...Youll be ok.

Security is pretty simple too.

 

Gotta check, I only sold about two, but I always keep at least one or two here just in case.

 

I can send ya one with a nice set of comps.

 

ebay got them for about 50 buck but then again it's ebay...

looks like the dash is mostly clipped in place unlike my 3rd gen. damn thing is like held in with 12 screws.

 

Yea pretty much just pops off.

Ill figure out the price, we can talk although Fleabay is prolly right around there..

 

so if i buy the dash kit, i get a nice set of comps with it? generous man you are...

 

Absolutely ! Ill just mark up the dash kit accordingly.

 

4am now...need for sleep....

 

i take that 'generous' comment back



i haven't even started to look at new comps yet. i have a few in mind, but been reading up about running a fully active setup...so much to learn...

 

sleep? thought that wasn't in your vocab

 

Have they made any changes to the Metra Dash kit for the 6th gen? I noticed that the interior on the 05(Mine) and up have a different "silver" color to them. kinda annoying but I got use to it, but I would be willing to buy another one if they made one to match...

 

Oooook, back on topic. I waited about 2 years to change out my system.

 

First day I had my 97 I changed the bose headunit to an updated one, then started on a basslink. Basically first day but actual aftermarket audio took about a month. I replaced my stereo in my 240sx when I had it, first day

 

A few days.....and then the whole setup it took me almost a month..

 

well, so much has changed since then. so considering what i had,

1 day - me FTW

i had it all ready from my totalled civic (no, i wasnt driving, and no, it wasn't her fault, heh)

 

6 months for the headunit, 1 day for the subs, had 3 pairs since then, and im just doing my raiinbow comps now so thats about a year.5

 

thanks for the input fellas

i've already started to take apart the stuff in my 3rd gen.

 

this is what i have to work with:



like posted above, hopefully the dash kit will match the colors of the other trims on the dash.

 

Ooooo autotragic ftl. Still nice car

 

the auto tranny ain't that bad plus my dad will drive it from time to time...so 6 spd is out of the question

 

Lets see... in the 3 1/2 years I owned my truck... nope.

3 months for the dang BLOSE in my Maxima. Would have been sooner, but had to wait on the dang IRS.

 

I bought my car used but I managed to blow out all four speakers in disgust within a week and transferred my system from my old car to the max the following weekend.

 

4yrs. I wasn't going to upgrade while the wife had it as a daily.

 

ascendant you got a new max? why? what happened to your 5th gen?

 

tint was done within 24 hours of course...and putting subs in the max took about 3 weeks to do. been changing the system ever since may 2k2.

 

What 5th gen? He had a 3rd gen...

 

Has a system in pretty quick. Within months and been rebuilding constantly from there.

Next car...BMW...do it right right away and leave it.

 

IByoubuyBMWandstillwanttoupgrade

 

i guess i'll start once my other amp arrives

 

Gordon, from the kits I've seen on some of the 6th guys setups, they seem to match pretty well. Much better than what us 5th gen guys have available (other than the GXE kit).

I think I waited 9 months till I aquired everything to begin, but since then, I've redone it twice
