As of right now I have the Bose stock stereo system with the stock sub and amp in my 03 Maxima. With my stock deck I am having the audio cutout problem on the driver side so rather then spending almost $200 on it I just want to get a hole new system/deck.

The person that had my max before me already had subs in it but he got rid of them before the car. I already have the wire running from the battery (not connected) just sitting in the engine bay running to the trunk. I don't no much about systems or really anything with the audio so I need a little help. I definitely want a new deck to solve the cutout problem and so I can have an AUX input but I am clueless on what to get or what will fit. I also definitely want to add subs (thinking 2 12s) into the trunk along with a amp that will have no problem powering them. The last thing I want is a gauge wired under my steering wheel to adjust the subs and make it so I can turn them all the way down if I wanted to. I am not sure what its called but my brother had it in his durango back in the day. I am not looking to get a top of the line set up money wise but I will spend what I have to to get something nice and loud.

As I am clueless in what to get in all aspects the other threads didn't do much good for me. I'd appreciate a lot of help in making my decisions. After finished I will post pictures and such. Thanks in advance...

In my opinion that's the best place to buy any car stereo equipment.

I ordered a Alpine CDA-105 for $150.

 

I just installed the jvc KD-A815 in my 02. I also installed a Sound Ordance powered Sub under the passenger seat. The Bluetooth works well and the sound from the stock speakers sounds a little better. The Sub sounds very good. The Scosche kit fits OK ( a gap above the AC controls and tight under the vent). I also installed the Axxess Steering Wheel Control module. It works very well.

 

I think I got one out of 4 things picked out....

For the deck I believe I am going to get the Jensen VM9214:

@maxatlast: The axxess steering wheel control module you are talking about, is something like this necessary to make the steering wheel controls work with any aftermarket head unit?

 

yes. Google, etc. for their Web Site for more info.
