Myquestion is can the Pac Oem 2 be connected backwards meaning is there actually a input side and out put side? I am trying to connect an aftermarket headunit to my stock bose speakers once i got everything connected the headunit powered on but no sound i checked fuses and found nothing.

now im lost has anyone had a problem with the Pac Oem 2 similar to this if so any help offered is greatly appreciated.

 

did u purchase the wiring harness for your car?

 

wiring harness ---> PAC ---> Aftermarket HU

 

I didnt purchase a wiring harness i cut the stock wiring harness and connected the wires to the corresponding ones on the pac oem 2 then connected the other side to the headunit

 

can i do it this way also, with the wiring harness?

 

Too late now, since you cut the connector.

 

its cut but can be easily reconnected i didnt cut it to short.

 

well no harm in reconnecting and using a harness to do it the right way. Also if it has gain control have you tried adjusting the screws?

 

yeah it does have Gain control, i did turn them but that didnt work but using the harness is something i never thought of using and im kicking myself in the a** right now for that!

 

now that i think about it the only difference in the Pac Oem2 and the Pac Oem Nis 2 is the harness right?

 

Lol I bet..... it's not the worst thing in the world not to use one... but it is a better idea for sure to use on in order to be able to put it back to stock with ease.

 

holy batman.

I'm getting tired of all these threads.

 

You and me both Nilesh.

 

Can someone tell me why i cant post a new thread,or pm anyone?
sorry for the hijack,but I cant do anything else.

You have to wait till you reach the 15 post mark. But be sure that your first 15 are useful posts. Don't spam/***** your way to your 15.

 

But you're still responding....

 

My thoughts exactly i couldnt of said it better!!!!

 

Exact same thing happened to me with the cutting of the harness. Now ive got a bundle of wires connected with wire nuts on.

 

So are you

 

That makes three of us sick of these damn PAC and other interface units.

READ the stickies. !

 

Yea but you're helping with info.

 

I REALLY hope you don't mean the home electric screw-type wire nuts.

Invest in a crimper and some butt connectors, or at the very least, crimp caps.

 

Thanks, that worked perfectly and dosent sound to bad either for stock bose speakers!

as for those that are tired of Pac questions being posted STOP spending posts and time on the post its probably 1000 other post that you can read, and respond to, As far as the stickies they where checked and info was found but my post to see if anybody else doing the same thing had ran into this problem.

As long as there are new people joining the Org your probably going to have some of the same ? pop up occasionaly so either help out where u can or Don't!

 

OR I can just delete them. Helping or not isnt my only options.

 

I think its pretty safe to say deleting them would fall under the "Not" option!!!

 

Why would that be?

 

I think he is somewhat confused Don .

 

Me thinking your right....

 

Glad you got your sound straight man.......boy I tell you....too many big egos on this site.....
All that most of the people on this site do, is wait for somebody to post something slightly close to another post and "boom" let's flame him. Don't you have anything better to do? This topic was not covered at all. He wasn't asking how to hook it up. He was asking would it work if connected backwards. That's all. You guys need a life. I bet you wouldn't say half of that stuff in person.

 

Actually I do say the stuff I say here in person . I am by no means a tough guy, just not a bs-er.

 

1: Who is this supposed to be directed towards?

2: I bet you I would.

 

I say these things in person too. It's not being smug, it's just educating people of common knowledge.

 

Educating people is one thing, And correct me if im wrong, isnt that part of what a forum is used for??? But to flame a question because you feel like you know everything there possibly is to know about Maxima's or what ever your reasoning is totally different!!!!

 

If the shoe fits.............

And anybody else that gets their rocks off by flaming posts that haven't been covered. Do some of you sit around all day and just wait for a repost? Give me a break. You need to read the whole post and stop skimming through just because you see "PAC".

By the way: I actually helped gtmuggs install the deck. It was an interesting question.

 

The shoe doesnt fit, but I can certainly make adjustments.

Its my position to be here and read through,edit,delete posts. I do have a life, which Tons of other members here can confirm.

On a side note, if this is an attempt to "call me out" Please feel free to do so, in a PM. Although my phone number and address are not hard to find on here as it is Very open info for this forum.

 

Seems to me that you are the one getting their rocks off .

 

I think he is somewhat confused Chris

 

The other way around .

 

I just re-read this entire thread.

No one even started to flame a question at all.
The question that was asked was, can a PAC be hooked up in the wrong direction. Then he went to explain the normal use of a PAC...not the backwards way. The PAC is harness specific, so it really can't be used backwards unless the harness is cut off...but why would someone do that?

So why is everyone getting upset? PAC questions, and this is no different, have been asked all the time, always with the same response.

BTW, you can ask anyone, I DEFINITELY do not feel or act that I know it all, or even close to it.

I am glad that your problem was resolved. I'm also glad that you were able to reconnect your factory harness. Some people do not have the intuition to cut it long.

 

Im glad i got it working too! and I did find the info given helpful I , Actually i was using the Pac 2 Universal not the (Pac Nis 2 that is Harness specific) And it turned out that it was connected backwards and thats what caused me to get power to the unit but no sound from the speakers

Also the original question i asked(Can the Pac 2 be connected backwards) was not found in the stickies it was more of a debate between me and fellow org member that was helping me do the install, so i decided to post the question on here.

As far as flaming goes i've seen it all to often a new person joins maxima.org and ask a question and really never stands a chance before the begins on what could of been an Honest question.

Ill be the second to admit i dont know everything about Maxima's thats why im on here!!
