Hey, I hooked up an Alpine 9843 in a 1996 Pathfinder tonight. Did the remote turn on, and grounded the factory amp through the harness. Seems to work fine, but he hits max volume at about 11-12 out of 35 on the Alpine. Is this because the amp is receiving too high of a signal input? Any way around this? Thanks!

^^ Thanks, looks like the factory amp should be mounted behind the back left panel, would the best way be to run new speaker leads back to the amp and tap in that way, or is there a better way? Cheers.

use the metra 70-7551 ampintegration harness. Plugs in at the deck and alows you to use your preouts from the deck.

just run new speaker wire from the hu to the speakers. thats what i did in my 89 pathfinder and it only took a lil over an hour. hardest thing to do is to get the wires to the doors through the factory boot things.

Did yours have the tweeters in the A-pillars?
