Nissan Bose Stereo replacement

It is for an 05 Armada. The Bose system is very flat and muffled sounding. From looking at it, I am sure I could gut it while still keeping the navigation buttons and AC controls intact and fitting a new HU in the center. I could turn the tuning buttons for the radio into something useful later on.

My main question....... is this radio tied into the computer in any way? If so, that sucks.

I have found that if I want a new HU but keep the factoy amp and speakers, a PAC OEM-1 should work.

I also found an AudiLink PD-4. Not familiar with it, but I am researching it.

I think keeping the factory amp and speakers will hinder good sound also, so in the long run, I want those replaced also. Sooner the better.

What about the option of keeping the stock HU (shrudders) and replacing the amp and speakers and upgrading the sub?

I got nothing for this one .  Anyone else?

Here is the AudioLink PD-4 ...... http://www.linkmeup.com/pd4.htm ....... still learning it.

So since the speakers are like a 1.5ohm load, I am thinking replacing the speakers and amp, and just doing what I have to to get an aftermarket HU in there.

So, I just need to replace that crap up front.  So as soon as I can, I will take it apart and make sure the HVAC controls use seperate circuit boards and I can actually take the radio out and mold something there.

Anyone have any ideas???

Flat probally wasn't the correct term to use.  It sounds like a pillow is in front of the speakers. And tweaking the controls doesn't really help it at all. Turning it up to try to overcome the muffled sound only seems to make you aggravated cause it doesn't work.  }-]

And I think that the first thing we will try is to replace the amp and speakers and add another amp and subs. See if the factory HU will suffice.

Don't turn the key on while you dash bezel pieces are on, or the air bag light will come on.  If it does get tripped, do a search on google and you'll find a solution.
