Hey are you still selling the Metra wiring harnesses?

I know you get this all the time and I have searched and searched and read and read over and over about adding a LOC.
I got a LCQ-1 I just can't seem to get a for sure answer about exactly what color and pin# spots off the factory input signal wires to cut and run to my LOC. Im running new speaker wire to my components and rear speakers. Just not sure what speaker input wires are full range in the front to use.
I'd be greatfal if you could give me a few tips here. Thank you for your time.
I have 09 Touring with Bose and Navigation

Hey, I need to know your opinion on something. I would not necessarily consider myself an audiophile, but I enjoy listening to crisp clean music. I don't have a Z yet, but I am looking into get one. I am on a budget however. Living in Colorado all Z's seem to come at a premium. I currently have a sound system. I mean Headunit, speakers, subs, amps, and everything to install it, but the best deal I can find is on a touring Z with Nav. I know its asked a lot, but is there any way to put an entire non touring set up in the dash? if so would it entail completely new harnesses. I'm just trying to figure out if it would be worth the effort, or if I would be better off just buying a non nav z. I know it is possible to replace. It just seems like a lot of work to adjust signals and everything and rewire everything to get it to. Any feedback would be appreciated.

hey can you help me with the wiring of an aftermarket deck on the bose system with the metra 70-7553 harness do I have to tap into some other wires in the car ?

Hello im new to the forum. My z is in the garage for winter but im getting my audio together. Im in no.Virginia .just wondering what you would charge for full system install including sound damping. Ive pretty much got everything except a sub enclsure and sub amp.

Hey Big, I dropped a message the other day regarding my Bose amp and sub. I just wanted to follow up and see if you had a potential solution for me.

Thanks!

hey big, i have an extra metra harness and was going to pull it apart to get the wires and pins to just add them to the harness i am using to make it plug and play. i have the bose non navi and am using the harness to retain stock bose system. could you confirm which hole i add these to please.

No worries. Thanks for responding.

Kk, I'll just read your thread then. Thanks for getting back with me anyway.

morning! Got a tech question for ya:

Is the touring radio/head unit compatible with the non-touring Zs?

Sure. I just thought that it was really stupid that my finger was pointing and one screw but the ground wire is clearly attached to the other :icon14:

I made balanced rca connectors using the low level signals that went to the bose amp (all bose amps are removed) to plug into my DSP. Just make sure it accepts a balanced rca signal. Its pretty low...

I like it. And it appears your in good hands with Matt leading the charge.

That's a wasted pad, so much material left. http://www.the370z.com/members/2011-nismo-91-albums-njmp-thunderbolt-picture98369-20170911-064245.jpg That's 110% used up pad. Anyway my personal...

I second that. However, for the DAC be sure to check the power requirements. I'm running the NextDrive Spectra X and had to add a USB toggle since it would pull power from the tablet even when the...

I may have gotten you two mixed up about the Bose bashing but both of you are car audio gurus in my book. :tup:

Trust me, its your amp. If RCAs are disconnected, there is nothing else in the signal chain other than the amp, speaker wires, and speakers themselves. There is always the slim chance your speaker...

Why use RCA (consumer line level) vs high-level? RCA cables are shielded whereas high-level is seldom shielded. Amps usually use a resistor network to drop the high-level signal to the 1 VP-P that...

Its likely that the factory woofers have a higher sensitivity rating than the polk woofers, which would make them play louder with less power. The reason there is no change with the sub level...

Calipers got hot, paint will change color, nothing new. But, calipers shouldn’t get this hot for break-in procedure? Lol were you doing like 100-0 like 15 times straight?

I've had experience with them at work - the solder joints have an unacceptably high failure rate IMO.

This. Additionally, it doesn't seem like it gives you control over or the ability to verify the mating of the two wires. A solder joint isn't really designed to be a strong mechanical connection,...

Those things are garbage from my experience. I'd much rather spend a little more time, do it right, and KNOW that I'm not going to have to redo wiring after the job is done.

Got the Metra 70-7553. Did the rewire. Used extra pins from my other Harmony audio harness to connect the SWC inputs. Great results. Audio levels are now normal. Big thanks to Bigaudiofanat. ...
