i am tired of my stupid Bose and i am ready to purchase a new head unit i looked up some @ crutchfield eyeing on the JVC KW-R500 .... they say it doesn't fit my 2002 maxima but i am pretty sure it does can someone confirm that or any other double din that my work cause i hate to have big empty hole..

i am getting the harrness adapter/anteena adapter from crutchfield FREE

your input will be appreciated

 

If it's a standard size double-din, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't' fit. I went with Kenwood DNX9990HD and it went in without any issues. Your choice of HU seems to be the same size.

If you have a Bose system though, you are stuck with your stock speakers. Otherwise, you will need to bypass or remove the Bose amplifier and rewire your speakers. Perhaps that's why you were told it's not compatible,

 

thank you for getting back to me i did the research and i need exactly what u said.. tell me did you keep your stock speaker if you dead how did they sound with the adapter thank you

 

You're not stuck with bose. You can replace it anyway you want, Speakrs, speakers + amp, amp, whatever. Plenty of options.

 

Fortunately for me, I did not have a Bose system, so replacing the speakers was very straightforward. I got free install on the H/U so I just had the stereo shop do it, so sorry I can't be much help in that department.

 

I didnt look at your head unit choice but check rear mounting depth. as long as it is standard you will be fine. some cars have issues with any extra length so they are labeled incompatible.

the bose speakers are 2 ohms so you can replace them with just about anything and use the stock amp and wiring, you will just get less power to them. If you want to add more juice you can install an aftermarket amp and run new speaker wire from the amp to the doors. you could also select 2 ohm replacements. not many choices but CDT and Infinity make good options at 2 ohms.

 

but i love the sound quality out of my bose so replacment is out of the Q now thanks Though


no thank you. u did plenty of help yes u r lucky to not have that BOSE the sound is good but cut off issues was killing me for a while

i measured today the size will fit in there is plenty of depth there,i am just worried that the dash kit might be too small Thank you for your support
