Were trying to tell you, don't waste another penny on the bose! Take that money and put it towards new stuff.
Besides, why spend $40 on bose speakers, when you can buy a replacement set of Alpine speakers for like $55??
Come on! Be smart!

Lol. Well the information was very useful. I am planning on changing HU, but not so confident about speakers because to change all speakers will cost about $500
On your last post u said my bose speakers might be bad as well, so may be if i get brand new speakers for $40 it would give good sound)

Its EXTREMELY EASY. Changing interior door and rear speakers is a breeze. I could have all 4 door panels in my max off in less than 20 minutes, and changing the speakers is simple. If you get some decent components, you really wouldnt even need a sub unless you want the bang. Its not like you have to do everything at one time, I know I didnt have the money when I had my first setup. ****, even w/ my second set up it went: HU and front component sets in each door, then rear deck component sets, then subs.
Also that JVC KW-XR810 is a beast of a CD player. I F-N love mine!!
I dont know what kind of speakers you were looking at that came to $500 unless you were including a sub

Yeah, I was including subs. I think my next step will be putting sound dumpin material on the rear deck because I could use it now for bose and future aftermarket sub whenever I get one. After that I will buy aftermarket HU, which gonna cost me $300 and harnesses and adapters $100, and only then will think about speakers.
Was the sound better with aftermarket HU but stock speakers? Because carstereohelp web site said that when people change HU, most of the time they either put stock cd player back or change whole system because aftermarket HU and stock speakers sounds worse than stock system

For some reason I thought I would have to do all the wiring in the car where its kind of uncofortable. I didn't realize at first that when I get cd player and harness, I can do most of the work in my bedroom

I MAY be able to get you an awesome deal on an 810. My buddy runs a stereo shop. Got mine for 225

Yeah. In crutchfield it says that its possible to use steering wheel controls with pac adapter.
On amazon the players go for $250 including shipping. Let me know how much it would cost through him with shipping to Florida

im deaf, so Im not sure how good the bluetooth is. when i got the CD player my hearing was going bad at that point. went 100% deaf about 2 months later, and at the time my phone didnt support bluetooth.
there is no graphics per se, but it does display the song info and stuff. I love how you can make the display look however you want. the display settings are crazy.

either the 810 or 720
http://mobile.jvc.com/product.jsp?mo...hId=148&page=1
leaning towards 720
the kw-hdr720 is like $100 cheaper than the kw-xr810. If you are wanting the 720, check the specs and see why its so much cheaper
http://www.amazon.com/JVC-KW-HDR720-.../dp/B004UGEI3K
FWIW the 810 is blue tooth ready out of the box, the 720 needs this $80 adapter, http://www.crutchfield.com/S-q2yETvF...KS-BTA100.html.
IMHO, get the 810

Yeah. But did you notice that the one on top in the video had nicer display? It had some video on it if i am not mistaking. 720 and 810 seems to have display with only 3 text lines

display means nothing if you are trying to upgrade your audio. plus, if bluetooth doesnt come with the 720 but does on the 810. So if you talk on the phone alot, go with the 810. its not much more than the 720

This one made specifically for JVC and it does needs little set up, but should take only 10 minutes. I read the manual. Is it hard to find the wires from steering wheel? I didn't find it in service manual

As most of you know,
Cars like i35 have problems with subwoofer, it cuts out. I fixed it temporarly about 5k miles ago and now the problem is up again.
I know a place that can fix it for about $85, but on top of the cut out problem, sometimes the bass sounds bad from the subwoofer. On some tones it sounds great and on some it sound like bunch of metal washers shake.
So, do you guys think I should fix the cut out problem
or get another subwoofer? I read before that there is some 1omh sub available for sale which sounds better, but not sure about amp etc.
Anyway, what would be your recommendation? Thanks

Since I am planning to replace stock speakers with Infinity speakers,
what do you guys think about this sub?

you pretty much need ign, 12v, ground and thats it. plug the headphone jack into the wr from the back of the radio, and follow the programming instructions, usually turn ign on, let led flash, press the button the sequence for the car, then push (in order) volume, mute, etc (depending what options are on your wheel) something like that.

Thanks, their price is pretty good too.
Now question about these and jvc player xr-810
I read that the player also has sub output, so I guess I can get small sub in my trunk.
Is it hard to connect it? what wires would I need? Just power and audio cables?

just a power wire kit and run the rca's from the sub out from the radio to the input on the basslink

Thanks. Whats the purpose of remote wire? I think i'll go with infinity sub for now for great price. Any advice on where to mount the sub so that I would still have big trunk space?

what model did you get...swi-x, swi-jack, or swi-rc?
their install directions are the same for all until im done typing, then the are model specific as to programming.
2 resistors are required. directions state you need to run a 150 ohm resistor to the blue/yel on your radio harness, 47 ohm resistor to the grn/blk OR red.
what that means is your going to tag them to those wires. solder your connections, and the opposite side of the resistor that you just tagged to the blu.yel and grn/blk or red, connect to the white wire from the pac interface.
then tag brn/wh to ground.
