Stereo Install Problem
Hello, new here, have a 2008 350Z Bose system No Nav
ordered and installed an Kenwood KDC-X599 wiht the Meta Harness.
only problem i am having is connecting the 2- 12V yellow wires. as soon as i hook them up i get a popping nose from the speakers even with the unit off. i dont understand why the speakers are making a pop sound when i go yellow to yellow.
i currently have the Yellow tied into the red so it works but loose all settings.
anyone else had a similar issue? i am lost.
thanks.

Did you use the PAC unit so that the Kenwood is compatible with the Bose speakers/amp?
The Kenwood HU is likely operating on 4 ohms for the speaker output and Bose uses something weird like 1 ohm.
Which Metra harness did you use? Was it #70-7551?

i used the metra harness.
all works good if i tie the yellow into the red and no speaker issues, just when i try and give it 12V constant.
i did find this searching and might make a change to the wiring. taking the antenna wire off and giving that switched power tieing it in with the red. ? worth a try. right now i have all 3 blue and blue white stripe tired together.
might be making something act funny IDK.
The bose amp wire on the factory harness is a "turn-on" signal, not a power wire. It should be connected to the headunit's amp turn on lead.
The antenna amp wire is a power wire, not a signal lead, and should be connected to the accessory (switched) power.
Grounds are common to the chassis, so attach them wherever is convenient. In this case, to each other.
i gonna mess with it more tonight after work.

better to scrap the bose system and save up for new speakers/amp, than to put time/ money into working with the bose junk..you need to buy the PAC unit which is $30 iirc
Spend ~$100 on speakers and ~$75 on a used amp and youre set..The bass 2 decent 6.5 speakers will put out will be better than that crap Bose subwoofer anyday
