Good Day. Yes, this will work with your head unit perfectly in the way that you want. Thank You

The high level inputs are for when you don't have low level outputs on your unit. You don't need the lc6 you can an get an adapter wiring harness or just cut your wires coming from stock unit and go to high level it will work fine.

The main thing is the model of the stereo head unit. The aux audio feature appeared at a certain point in the series; I am of the understanding that this feature goes back to at least 2003, so you should be OK. E46fanatics.com is a great resource and there are many personal accounts there to draw upon.I installed mine in the sunglasses storage bin above the ashtray so as not to have to reach for the glove compartment, but had to do a good deal of drilling and cutting on the rear side to get it to close (due to the way the lid moves against the bin) and even after a considerable amount of work the action is not perfect. I may end up relocating it to the glove compartment per factory instructions. The main thing is the model of the stereo head unit.

Yes, if your intention is to replace the Nissan head unit with an aftermarket one and continue using the Bose amp and speakers

You would need the cleansweep,fosgate 360.3,audison bit control or audio control. Factory head units have preprogramed equalization to make cheap factory speakers sound good. The cleansweep or those other products flaten out the factory equalizition and give you a clean signal to amplifiy. I put a 7 band clarion eq after the cleansweep,then out to my three amps,can fine tune any frequency ,bass control,or fade anytime you want. Only down side is the master volume is controlled from the clarion eq ,not the head unit

The vehicle has a separate four-connector plug for speaker connections. If your new aftermarket stereo has a single plug, you can still attach both of these to it without issue, as the total number and type of wires is the same, and in some cases you may even have extra wires from the head unit you do not even need, like a power antenna control wire (use a piece of heat shrink tube to bend these back on themselves and keep them from grounding). Everything is color-coded on these and matches all new head units' color-coding so there's no guessing what goes where.

You will have to pull the head unit out and connect this into the wiring harness between the radio and where the harness plugs into your vehicles factory wiring. It's not difficult, but you may need to solder or re-crimp the connections depending on how your wiring harness adapter is installed. I would think that Best Buy or a local car stereo shop would do the install for a few $ if you don't want to mess with it.

Factory "amp" is built into the head unit I believe. Aftermarket amps will absolutely work with this, as their connections will be via speaker wire, or rca from an aftermarket head unit. A note, the remote wire on this adaptor is not present in the factory harness, so you will have to wire that separately. I just clipped mine to the cigarette lighter (the one that only works when the trucks on). Good luck!

That is nonsense to my knowledge as long as your head unit has RCA OUTPUTS for your highs you are in business my friend. I am running a pioneer head unit on my alpine and well the best sound ever my 300 alpine is pushing 2-6x9 in front 2-6 1/2 all 3ways Memphis a set of silk tweeters and 2 1/2 on my dash like theirs no tomorrow my dually sounds awesome that is a fact brother.

This is the harness that you will use to attach your aftermarket head unit to the factory wiring. Be sure to buy the harness that is specific to the options on the vehicle. Steering wheel controls, amplifyer, bose system, on star may require a different harness.

well im using mine on a kenwood head unit and the 13 pin connection on it is for a disc changer so o believe so the problems i forsee is the connector doesnt fit or the arrangement of the wires are not right so its a crap shoot either way all you can do is purchase it and hope it works sorry i couldnt be more of a help

Yes.this eq will work with any in dash head unit all you need to do is connect the unit rear output to the EQ input and connect the amps to the EQ outputs

This is the method I chose to add a mono sub amp. It has a remote turn on wire for turning the amp on and off with the cars system. Cheaper would be to run the remote turn on from the fuse box from any source controlled buy the accessory switch position of your ignition. The audio would be run from the rear speakers using a line level converter. I do not like that option because I prefer not to alter the factory wiring, and I can remove the PAC adaptor easily without altering any factory wiring.It has been my experience that line level converters do not sound near as good as true pre amp level outputs. I have also experienced feedback using line level converters. This is the method I chose to add a mono sub amp. It has a remote turn on wire for turning the amp on and off with the cars system.

You can use the high level inputs on the lopro8. basically they attach to the left and right speaker wires coming from the radio/head unit. I used the rear left and right channels so I can fade the music to the front if I don't want to hear the woofer. You will attach 5 wires. Rear Left Pos, Rear left Neg, Rear Right Pos, and rear right neg to the harness on the lopro8. The last wire is ground. Usually the standard for these wires coming from a head unit are the purple and green ones. The white and grey ones are the front channels if you want to use those. I had to make my included wire harness longer to reach the headunit wires. I used speaker wire to increase the length.

I simply connected the aftermarket speakers to the factory harness. Hope that helps.

Yes I suppose it will work with aftermarket heads. But you really don't need it if your aftermarket head unit has all the RCA outputs for external amps. I only use this because my gm head unit is horrible and I want to retain stock looks.

Q: can you use this to power 4 6x9 speakers (150rms each at 4ohm) And how would you wire a high level imput into this amp? (stock head unit because they dont make an aftermarket one)A: You can buy the speaker line to RCA adapter to feed your speaker lines into the amp. I used an Audiocontrol LC6i in my setup but not necessary unless you want to add subwoofer and amps.I have a small amp for my speakers and one amp for this sub. 2ohms is how the shop I went to set it up. The amp I got was like $65 and it works great. I've had both for about 1.5-2 years now

I put the 6.5 in the back doors with the crossover and the tweeters in the dash. Had to remove the capacitor from the crossover and attach it to the tweeters. Great affect.
