The cd player on our '96 Maxima skips and was made before blank cd's became available. I am going to replace it with a new Pioneer, and since speakers sound blown and scratchy I want to replace them as well.
Thing is, the last time I ever replaced car audio was for my old Opel which was from the 80's, this was back in Finland in the late 90's, and when I took a look at the stock speakers in our Maxima, the connections look completely different. It's like a white block that has both wires connected into the speaker together as opposed to separately.. Looks more like something I'd be more likely to find inside my PC...
I've been doing research and trying to figure out what those connectors are... But I've come up with nada so far. It's not easy being I don't speak English natively, and a lot of the terminology is completely foreign to me. Also, I've been told that replacing the rear speakers isn't going to improve the audio, just diminish it, and that I should replace just the front door speakers and leave the rear ones dead.
So with that in mind, I am thinking what if I just replace the front speakers with new Pioneers and put the old front speakers in the back. Or is there a difference? I don't really know a lot about speakers...
I can't afford to have this stuff done for me, so I've to figure it out somehow. If anyone has any input or has done these speaker replacements on a Maxima before, I'd appreciate any advice you can give. I hope I can at least figure out what the hell these connectors are and whether they are compatible with modern aftermarket speakers and stereos.
