question on metra 70-7551 harness
Do i need this or should i use this harness? I read in a post on this forum that i should use this harness, instead of the the normal harness that comes with the head unit installation kit? Crutchfield says this harness does not fit my '04 Maxima w/bose w/o nav.

Wait, I'm having the same "Pop" issue with my GF's install. We have an alpine unit with 4v RCA outputs.
I used the metra 70-7551. I soldered all connections, and grounded the black wire from the HU directly to the chassis. For the other two grounds (the ones coming out of the harnesses), I tapped the HU ground.
We also are only getting sound from the rear speakers (well we get a real weak one from the driver's side front, but it's very low volume).
Any idea as to the cause or solution to the popping? What about the front speaker problem?

Zip-tie all RCA's together - this will partially fix the problem

Zip-tie all 4 RCA's firmly together. This will stabilize RCA jacks in their sockets and will partially fix the problem, because some RCAs do not provide an adequate contact and you may hear a popping sound, especially while driving. I had the same problem with the 70-7551 harness. This fix eliminated the volume inequalities between the speakers and eliminated some popping. However, the popping sound during the volume change from 0 or to 0, the change of the input source, or the change of the radio stations is still present, but it is weaker now.

One of the larger companies on that road...
Let me know if you ever need some help with your car, I do work for a lot of the local Maxima/Nissan guys. Nice to see another local orger.

I posted this in another thread but thought that it would also apply here, its for us later gen i30/i35 guys. Its a new Scosche dash kit that looks to be more compatible then the Metra one.
