So my amps no good and the guy at my local audio shop said I can replace it with aftermarket amp he said it is possible u just have to hook all the right cables up so here's a photo of the plug on the amp. If anyone can tell me what color is what it would really help (I assume positive is red negative is black)

I would not recommend using an aftermarket amp with factory equipment, You're better off just finding a used oem amp or money isn't an issue toss the boss and buy a system.

 

Get yourself a free factory service manual on the internets. It is complete with all wiring diagrams and colors. I have a 2004 manual but not certain is it applies here.

Usually you can find a used Bose amp for cheap.

 

The thing about the BOSE amp is that it separates out the frequencies that go to the speakers, so it's integral to the entire system. In order to attach a new amp to the OEM Bose headunit, you'll need something like a JL Audio Cleansweep and a signal summary device so that you can re-form the signal to incorporate the full spectrum of frequencies going to each channel on the aftermarket amp. I actually tried this and it worked fairly well, except that it forced the aftermarket amp to be on all the time, even when the headunit was turned off, so you'd always hear some level of white noise coming out of your speakers, and that to me was a bit too annoying.

You're better off either getting a used working BOSE amp or gutting the entire audio system (like I and many others here did) and replacing it with something superior to the BOSE system, which really isn't saying much to be honest.

 

im just going to gutt it sounds easyer.

 

just replace with another bose amp. any bose amp for nissan car from 2003-2007 should work.. Im using nissan 06 altima amp in my 350z.
