I currently own 2012 Nissan Armada Platinum w/premium amplified 12 speaker Bose system. I removed the underseat sub, left the mini Bose sub amp & wiring in place. Then removed all other bose speakers, ran all new speaker wire & replaced with Infinity kappa perfect, primus & reference.
I retained stock Bose HU for navigation, and rear dvd player. I originally had an Audison Bit Ten using Hi Lvl feeds coming "OUT? OF" (I believe.....)stock Bose amp
I wasn't able to find enough consistent or definitive info on the Bose amp pinouts or color code.
Amp is located above gas pedal behind the ECM. I went with left harness, POV looking at amp b4 removal. That plugs wire colors closest to info I found.
The sound quality was pretty decent with Bit Ten........but recently upgraded to a Bit One. I had hard time updating PC with current Bit One S.W., F.W. & also DRC & AC driver links update. After researching till eyes bled, im somewhat confident all installations correct..
So I decided to land same wires
Used w/bit 10 & into hi level plugs on Bit One. Now the sound is horrible.... muffled and most prominent coming from new 10" active subs in cargo area. Almost no sound from active door speakers from what I can tell...even after running configuration wizard setup. Picked hi lvl inputs & listed 1-4 as LF Full, RF Full, LR Full & RR Full w/sub on 5&6....I read channel 1 used as an auto on, I removed internal jumper & same thing, put it back in... also I heard to omit Chanel1?
Also the next few steps tried from lil info out there and nada...
1)I left 1st plug w/1-4 channels empty & started at 5th channel
2)disconnected fronts & rears, extended & used only the old sub feeds pre & post stock mini amp
3) hooked up LOC to pre & post mini stock amp feeds
ALL WITH NO SUCCESS!!! I'm open to any suggestions cuz I'm getting tired of hooking up unhooking, pulling wire, ripping out wire... over and over it's driving me ******* nuts!!!
I tried uninstalling reinstalling software but I'm not the best with computers so maybe it could be that I read somewhere that when you use D Equalization wizard if you keep getting Channel 1 input level too low it might be software related or firmware???
The only two times I ever attempted installing any stereo equipment in vehicle.
first time worked, now 2nd time upgrade very similar and can't get anywhere please anyone with any suggestions I'm open ears!!
BEFORE I PUNT A BIT 1 ACROSS THE STREET & RIP IT ALL OUT!!! so sorry for thr long novel posting.... just wanted to be detailed as possible of what I've done and attempted so far
