Avic D3 w/ stock bose head units

Hey guys I have an upgraded head unit, Pioneer Avic D3, and it was hard to get the volume up or hear anything with the radio... I am guessing this is because of the stock bose amp?

Anyways my car is a 2005 g35 coupe and the front driver speaker or tweeters are blown because they are starting to make static noise and I just wanted to know a good replacement for my Avic D3.

I am not looking for a fully blown system with a huge sub in the back just something with a little better quality than the stock bose to support my Avic D3.

Also is there a way that I can wire 1 small speaker with the bose amp or something to retain the stock navigation voice that came with the car specifically for that, while keeping the main speakers, amps and stuff for my head unit?

If you used a "normal" wiring (like the Metra 70-7551) harness to install the headunit and had the volume too quiet *and* you intend to keep using the Bose amp, replace that harness with a PAC ROEM-NIS2, and the volume problems will disappear.

Your voice speaker needs to be powered, I wouldn't go about trying to keep the Bose amp just for that, but yes, you can wire it up to the voice audio signal to retain the voice.

I'm not sure if its the wiring issue because only the radio runs quiet but when I listen to my ipod its normal.

Do you know the reason for this?

If the volume's just a little off, you can adjust the signal level for it (SLA in the audio options) so they're equal.

Nope, no problems, just the known issues of it taking a while to boot up and slow response at times.
