2003 300M Sound System by guitarz17
Dec 20, 2007 (9:49 pm)

Hi,
If anybody can help, I would really appreciate it.
 
I just bought a beautiful 2003 Black 300M. It only has 12k miles. It's like brand new.
 
I love the car, but the sound system is not really that good. It has the "Premium" system and not the "Infinity" system.
 
Does this car have a seperate amplifier? From what I have read in other forums, the Infinity system does, but I can't find any information on the base Premium system.
 
Also, if I change the in-dash stereo, are there any brands on the market that will allow me to retain the steering wheel volume controls?
 
Any suggestions on brands of receivers and speakers. I am not looking for a real hard core system with a subwoofer, just something that has better e.q.. The "Premium" system has a really harsh midrange and a really weak low frequency response.
 
I am an audio engineer by trade, and I just can't take much more of the system from the factory as I am used to working on studio monitors all day. When I get in the car and listen to what I have been working on, I want to just turn it off. For those who care, it seems there is about a 6db boost at around 2.5k-4.0k. The low end seems to roll off around 120hz.
 
I am all ears, so please give me your two cents worth!

About all the help i can give you is location of your amp, if you have one. Open your trunk and check on the passenger side slightly behind the rear tire well, if you have one, it will be there mounted to the side of the trunk wall behind the carpet/padding material.
 
good luck.

I have the same problem in my 2000 300M with the door speakers and would like to try your method of re-gluing the cone back to the frame. How did you do this and what kind of glue did your use?
Thanks for your help.

if you are not getting anything below 120hz, i know that must suck. you can replace the factory stereo with any unit you want, and there is a device sold by crutchfield, part number PAC SWI-X. check it out, it turns your steering wheel controls into a wireless remote control. i will be getting the same thing soon. hope this helps.

Help with disc changer removal by gmidkiff
Mar 13, 2008 (4:35 pm)

I have a 2003 300M that does not get used very much (11000 miles). When I returned from trip to Florida the battery was completely dead. I hooked charger up and everything was fine except the 6 disc cd player now flashes continously and shows ERR in the display window.
 
I tired a suggestion I read here about unhooking battery for several hours. This did not help. I think there are 3 cds in the changer and I can't get them out. From reading this forum, it appears that the changer is easily removed by prying off the cover and removing two screws.
 
Can someone help me with a solution or tell me how to pry the cover off to remove the changer. I tried with a screwdriver but it didn't seem to budge and I'm afraid of damaging the area around the cover or the cover itself. Is there a particular point to pry from?

I've posted here for help on removing the cd changer in my 2003 300M but have not gotten any response yet. If you see this can you tell me how you got the changer out?

Removing the CD changer is just as easy as you've heard. Simply pry the face plate/bezel away from the radio. If I remember correctly, on my 2001 there are 4 friction-fit pins that must be pried out of the holes in the 4 corners of the faceplate. It is not difficult to do, but you may have to exert some pressure to get the first corner started. If you are worried about breaking something by using a screwdriver, try some other thin flat tool - like a putty knife, trim tool, or even a kitchen spatula. Once you get the face plate off, there really are just 2 screws to remove from the left and right sides of the changer to get the changer out.
 
Good luck.

Getting rid of the infiniti sound by stroges31

2000 300m
Hey last night i went through the PITA process of putting a new set of 6x9s in the rear. they dont fit perfect but i padded it up real tight to avoid any vibrations... however, it sounds worse than before. i know there is a 14w adapter from the infiniti sound system that i cut off and just soldered the + and -. so here is my question... im going to install a pioneer deck and was wondering if there was a way i could completely disconnect the infiniti amp and run it straight from the deck or should i just attach the remote wire to the new deck? which would they sound better from? and also is the 14w harness available in stores? sorry for so many questions but im completely stuck. thanks!
