Of course I need to clean up the wires.. but I was just trying to get it working.

 

very nice, i have a 9835 in my car...will post pics in a sec

edit: pics posted below. my cousin helped me on the install.. we noticed the 9835 wouldn't fit perfectly in the dash so he cut the inside trim of the double din piece..not sure if any of the other 9835 owners did that, i havent seen it yet..

 

 

hey tekknikal, how did you get the car background? All I have is the sky.

Could you also post your EQ settings? I want to see how you did yours?

Looks good!

 

i dont remember my eq settings, ill get them and post back later.
to get the car you have to go into the setup menu and look for "BGV"
you either keep hitting menu until you see bgv
or
you hit menu until you get to setup, then hit the >>| key until you get to BGV.
sorry i cant remember all that well, the user interface on this thing is horrible

btw - the car is a 350z!

 

The interface isn't necessarily horrible, it's just got its little pattern (try setting values using AmpLink, now that's a bitch! ) that makes it tricky

 

i guess its not that bad- but coming from a pioneer 9400 its a lot harder to figure out... took me almost a week to find how to set the xover! i had to go to the manual to find that menu

 

Very nice Tgenius, so you ripped out the bose completely? I was thinking of installing an additional amp to feed front speaks and keep the bose for back and sub. Any comments?

Many thanks

 

I had swapped speakers in Phase 1 in 04. The problem is, Bose speakers are 2 ohm, so it makes things a lil iffy if you try to run it through the Bose Amp. I ended up using a 4 channel LOC and a 5 channel Amp (which is now relegated to 4 channels while my MRD-M501 handles sub) and swapped all speakers out to 4 ohm. It's a CONSIDERABLE difference in just speakers and amp, but when I moved up to the aftermarket HU, it gives you total freedom to control everything!

 

Well, I have all I need to attempt a test on this. Here is what I'm thinking of doing;
Isolate front channel from the HU to connect to new amp.
Front speakers including tweets have been changed already and they are 4 ohm
Connect front speakers to new amp leaving back speakers and woofer as is on the Bose.
New amp will be connected according to specification, meaning: minimum 8 gauge power from the battery and ground. Remote cable from existing etc.

This should work (I think) but my concern is with leaving the Bose front channels without connecting anything on them.

I look forward to any comments you may have on this.

Many thanks

 

That should work, but does the amp your going to use for the fronts do line level inputs? If not, your going to need a LOC!

 

Thank you tgenius for your reply. Yes the amp does have the required line level inputs. I'll let you know how I made out.

Many many thanks again. Much appreciated.

 

dash looks awsome, love the way it matches the inside colors at night nicely, the 05 tail lights look cool too. post a pic at night ill love to see how they look
