Factory look and big buttons notwithstanding...why bother? The
Bose-"massaged" Clarion H/Us were/are anemic performers at best; they aren't
worth the time of day if you want good sonic performance, even with the best
aftermarket amps and speakers. Plus, at this point they're all a decade old
with all the usual Nissan nasties that come with age and disintegrating
solder connections.

I'd replace that dead aftermarket with another, if I were in your place. A
lot more straightforward with what you have already, even if it doesn't have
the factory-look, as if a Maxima would ever benefit from looking 'factory'.

My aftermarket head unit (in my 95 SE when I bought it used) recently
gave out.
I'm thinking about finding an original factory cds/tape/radio and
using it with my existing aftermarket amp and nice speakers.
I know the output signal from the Bose is rather low - would that work
with an aftermarke amp? Anyone know the Bose output level?
Is there an adaptor/converter out there that would mate the Bose
headunit with my MTX Thunder 5400 amp?
I'd like the stock head unit for appearance and ease of use, big
buttons etc....
Is this idea feasible? Is this a lousy idea?
Any/all insights appreciated.
TIA -- Bob
