I'm going to be getting a 92 Maxima, I think it comes with stock bose but im not positive on that, I wanna spend about 1000 on a nice audio system, but I dont know anything about it.
do you want a sub? If so do you want it to be a nice sound quality sub that will blend with the music but not be able to get all that loud, or do you want something that might not sound too good but have earth-shattering bass? (You can get both, but adding in a headunit, speakers, amp, etc will send you over budget by several hundred $$$)
Well how much would it cost me? I'd like to have nice sound and nice bass, and if the car has Bose stock, can't I use those in addition to what i'm going to get?
this doesn't include shipping though, so you would go slightly over budget. This system is the best I can possibly come up with for that price, and you would be EXTREMELY hard pressed to beat it for even $1500 or more with different products. I promise you it would sound very good
If you wanted to could step up the front stage amp with a higher power 2 channel, drop the rear speakers, and get a better set of front components. With a small car you can't even tell you don't have rear speakers if you have a good set of components up front, but I'm not so sure a single pair could fill up a maxima completely.
are there online instructions on how to put all of this into place and wire it?
and im not sure if this car comes with a deck so i might need one of those, and i can bump the budget upto 1500 to include the deck
What I posted includes the deck, it's first on the list
"Lower level Pioneer or Alpine - ~$150 (either one would be great, you get to decide)". If you could bump up the budget a bit then a slightly higher model would work great. For about $250-300 with either company you can get something that has all the features and reliability you would ever need. As for instructions, I'm sure there are some floating around out there but I've never seen any. If you need any help just post here and we'd be more than happy to answer any questions. Everything in car audio installs is pretty straight forward (+ to +, - to -, etc). The only semi-complicated thing is working out the impedences and wiring of the subs, and even that isn't bad.
......leave the bose speakers alone.......unless you are gonna shell out some serious cash for some components, they are as good as your gonna get for sound quality.
for a head unit, you can pretty much go with any brand but sony just pick something that fits your budget, and most importantly, your likes...
for sub/subs and an amp, dependins pretty much on what youve got left to spend. how much room do you absolutly NEED in your trunk. i thought this wasnt importand when i did mine, and i have like half a foot on the sides and front of the sub box....bad call for space, but awsome bass
also, do you wanna run single or double subs? 8"s? 10"s? 12"s? how much power? i dont know how big the maxis trunks are, but something like 600 watts or higher should be good for great sound quality bass, but also give ya some thump in the trunk

are you joking? Bose is the laughing stock of the entire audio community, they are some of the worst SQ speakers you can possibly get, both in home theater and car audio.
.......yah they sound way better than any kenwood, pioneer, or alpine, NON COMPONENT..........and in my moms sebring conv., and my dads 96 vette........they sound freakin awsome......and for home theater, we had the acustimass er whatever system when it first came out........and now we have the huga ass bulking towers to reproduce the sound their 6" tall speakers made.....
^actually, better than some components out now

.....when you do your car system.....i get first bids on those speaks
doesn't matter, you can't use them even if you got them.
Do I really need to post a frequency response graph to show you WHY Bose blows so hardcore? And I'd be willing to argue about them being better than even the lowest model kenwood, pioneer, or alpine. Sure those other speakers might not be able to get loud, but atleast their frequency response is relatively flat. Bose's response (especially their home theater setups) is something along the lines of 50Hz-15kHz +/- 20dB.
Listen to any decent setup and then go back to Bose, they charge 5x the price for an inferior product. Ok, I'm rambling, I just hate Bose, and I'm not the only one.
I dont know man, my mom has a 98 Maxima with stock bose speakers, no sub or anything and it sounds awesome nice bass levels and everything. I personally like bose
