2006 altima bose teardown.

I want to completely eliminate the Bose when I do my audio install. The only part I am completely confused on is when I remove the Bose amp how my speakers will get power. I am speaking about before I use a aftermarket amp. I know that with the use of my own amp it will power them. I guess I'm just trying to understand how to run my rear speakers off of HU power for rear fill. I hope that makes sense. Thanks.Just learning.

you need to bypass the factory amp to play the speakers directly from the radio. you can either run new wire from the radio to each speaker, or to the output side of the factory amp which should be in the trunk. you might be able to jump the wires from the input of the amp to the output side but you would have to know which wires to jump and which wires to leave alone. my vote is for running all new wire to each speaker but that is a little more of a challenge. next best option would be to run new wires from the radio and find each speaker wire at the factory amp.

I want to take out the amp so from the HU to the speaker is how I will do it. How would I do something like that? I have idea how to do something like that.Just learning.

well the back speakers will be easy because you can get to them from the trunk. the front speaker wires you will have to find in each kick panel or just run the wire straight through each door boot into the door. personally i would run them into the door but it can be very tricky to run the wire through the door boot. but this will keep you from having to tap into any factory wires. the easiest way is just to find the speaker wire in the kick panel, cut it, and connect the side of the wire coming from each door to the speaker wire you ran from your amp. factory speaker wires in a nissan are usually twisted together so it makes them easy to spot BUT they arent the only wires that get twisted together. CAN bus data wires are twisted together and maybe the airbag wires too. you need to test suspected speaker wires with a digital multi meter to be sure if it is a speaker wire before you go cutting anything unless you want to catch an airbag in the face.

So the easiest way would be to install everything normally, but when I go to wire up my back speakers go the Bose amp location, and cut the speaker wire going INTO the amp, and then re-route those to the back speakers?Just learning.

now im a little confused. i have a few questions for you: are you still using the factory radio or are you using an aftermarket radio? are you changing the speakers or are you still using the factory speakers? why do you just want to run the rear speakers off of the HU? what will you have powering the front speakers?

1.) I will installing an aftermarket. Everything Bose is getting gone. Nothing will be left the same. 2.) Changing the speakers. Components up front. 3.) For rear fill. I will have people in the back seat. My fronts are going off a Kenwood X4R. I would like to go active. Another separate question. The rear deck uses 6x9s. Should I add in 6x9s for mids or just completely take them out.Just learning.

ok that makes more sense to me now. just a few more questions though. do you have speakers in the back doors AND the rear deck? are you installing everything at the same time or installing this in stages?

Right now just the Bose is in. The Bose setup is 8 speakers. Tweet,front,rear,rear deck. I will be installing pretty much everything at the same time. I might just install the front speakers first, and do the sub install/rear install at another time, BUT as of right now my idea is to get everything, and do it all at the same time.Just learning.

ok, the easiest way will be to find all of the factory speaker wires AT the factory amp, test them and label them to find out which set goes to which speaker. you will find every speaker wire at the factory amp and they should all be on the same plug coming out of the factory amp. once you have labeled the speaker wires you can install your aftermarket amp and run your speaker wire from the new amp to the speaker wires you found and labeled at the factory amp. make sure to unplug the plug from the factory amp too. if you want to run your back door speakers off the HU then you will need to run speaker wires from the rear channels of the HU to the rear speaker wires at the factory amp. you say you want to go all active, what will you be using as a crossover to filter the frequencies from the mids and tweeters? if you plan on using the crossover in the amp then you need to make sure that it can be set to at least 2000Hz or above so that it will protect your tweeters. if it doesnt go up that high then you will probably blow your tweeters.
