Factory audio system questions.

JBL BassPro Hub (11.5in woofer). HUGE difference on my Non Bose system . I let a pro install the JBL it was pricey but well worth it, he did it the right way by getting the audio source from the radio itself . He had the Z for about 4 hrs charged 3 hrs labor plus the JBL and related wiring.
I used 6.5 front speakers by Powerbass direct fit. The audio is AMAZING! A huge improvement.
I do not understand the love affair automakers have with Bose.

Do you know if he took out the headunit?

I am not 100% sure, however, there were hand marks on the dash and radio. I have seen videos that is where they source the audio.

I was hoping getting the source from the rear speakers would be enough.

I was told that but the best way is to go through the radio, less issues of distortion and reliability.

Nope. The signal at the speaker connection is processed by the amplifier programming.
Nissan vehicles send clean signal from the head unit to the external amp. It's far better to intercept that signal than to connect to the speaker and use post-processing to correct the signal

Thanks for explaining what I thought was true.
