Stereo Install / I30 Dash Kit

Finally got around to installing the new dash panel and stereo.
System consists of an Alpine CDA-7995 Tuner/CD Player, Boston Pro 6.5" 2 ways in the front and rear doors, Fosgate 1 fared cap, Two PPI Powerclass 2600 amps, and an Alpine Type R 10" DVC sub. Also in the system is the XM MyFi but I am still getting a lot of alternator noise so I need to rewire that part again.
Here are some pics. The trunk install is temporary until I figure out a better way to mount the amps and build a box for the sub right behind the seats.

Stereo

I heard that the speakers may be individually wired and that if i wanted to put in and aftermarket subs or stereo it would be a pain in the *s*. Is that true? and where could i get that stereo harness? anyone can email me cptsoco04@hotmail.com i am a first time customizer and could use all the help i can get.

Not true. PAC AOEM-NIS2 plug and play adapter will give you RCA outputs to add an amp , subs, speakers, etc. PAC ROEM-NIS2 will allow you to change the head unit and still use the bose speakers and amps.

Shameless plug: I have an AOEM-NIS2 that I'm no longer using (replaced my head unit) that I'll sell for $45 including shipping.

Nice setup.

I just had an Alpine head unit, JL Audio W3 12, JL Audio 250w amp, and all installed today. Because of the factory Bose equipment, I had to buy an interface adapter which they call a XR4 adapter. It was about $80 but was well worth it.

Very nice. Did you do the install yourself? If so, well done. How does that Alpine Type R sound for you? Plenty of bass?

big amp for a small sub hehe, my interior speakers were all rewired...no bose in my car whatsoever, except the grill on the rear deck. Your headunit looks nice and as for a lot of us especially with the dash kit.

Yes, I did the install myself. I plan on redoing the trunk set up someday. Takes up to much room.
The sub is decent for what it is. I have too much power for it and have to be really careful.

Just joined here, but this thread is kinda important.

I went to my aduio install guy and he said I couldn't replace the factory radio because getting a dash kit would be impossible. Can someone give me more info on if this is true or not? He said they don't make a plastic housing for aftermarket decks-but clearly that is mistaken. Does this "SYCEFIRO" fabricate them himself, or can I buy them from elsewhere?

Read the other thread on the main I30/I35 forum thread listing "2000+ I30s"

It's a part from the Taiwanese Domestic Model Nissan Cefiro. Made by Nissan. SyCefiro imports them.

Hey Tigger

I was wondering if the wood grain on the kit is a perfect match to the wood grain in the car. For some reason the picture makes one look a little darker, but maybe its the lighting.

The kit is a tad darker. Truthfully though, unless you hold the kit right next to the other pieces of wood in the car you, nor anyone else will ever notice the difference. Especially since the sun is usually shining on the kit through the windshield - makes it appear lighter.

Oooooohhh...perhaps. I figured the tone was the same. Apparently not.

There is a slight difference, but not enough for anyone but you to ever notice.
The dash plate is very nice and a good way to go for an easy installation of an after market headunit.

Thats cool tigger, good looks on posting the picture of the kit. I'll definately be getting one when when I get hooked up on my pioneer n-2, but hopefully the kit will be the right fit.

Your problem is probably because you are draining to much power to your stereo. You probably need some more resistance, or a cap may help.

Shelving? What are you talking about. Do you mean the pocket below the HU?

If so, any DIN-sized pocket will work.

Are you sure any pocket will fit? It doesnt need to be any specific model? Thanks for the reply

Also replied to your pm:

Any standard single din pocket will work. You have a double-din opening, one din filled with the stereo, and one to be filled with the pocket. The "DIN" is standard sized, so any should work. I just bought a generic one at Circuit City when I had the single din in my dash. I now use a double-din screen so I took it out.

The kit I bought had adapters for Toyota, Nissan and Honda. Just find one that fits a 2K or so Maxima and you should be fine.

Can I use one of these adapters to run just an amp and subs off the bose HU? I want to keep the indash Cd changer, but the Pioneer deck I have is single. Is it possible to add an AMP and subs and still use the BOSE HU and speakers-or do I have to replace the HU also?

I don't understand your post.

You want to keep the Bose HU, or use the Pioneer HU?

The adapter he refers to in the post above relates to the mounting pieces for the DIN pocket for various makes, not for adapting to the Bose amps, etc.

Now, if you want to use the Bose HU, but add amps, subs, etc., just find the AOEM-NIS2 that you PM'd me earlier about buying.

AOEM-NIS2

That's the part I was referring to, sorry.

I'll pick one up and get some subs, I already have a nice 750w Amp.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I can't start my own thread yet. I'm also looking to get a dash kit from SyCefiro and want to know if any other modifications are needed for it to fit properly. I also was looking at a double din screen (either a kenwwod excelon DD or eclipse AVN) and was wondering whether any fabrication was needed for it to fit properly with little or no gaps.

No modifications were needed for mine except trimming of the trim plate around the head unit. A double din unit should fit well with no gaps at all.

Thanks for the info. I have a 2002 I35 and the woodgrain on the kit does indeed look a little darker than what I have in my car (at least in the pics). I am a little nervous about getting this dash kit if it will not match the rest of my woodgrain accents. Exactly how much difference is there between the dash kit and the rest of your wood grain? Is it really noticeable side by side?
