I have an '09 Nissan Altima 2.5L and although I love the stock speakers, they are really blown to smitherines. P I had them replaced before by Nissan and they were awesome about it because they blew out before I had owned the car for a month so they replaced them for free. But now that the car is a year old, I need to buy new speakers myself.I was wondering 2 things: 1) Should I pay up to Nissan to replace my speakers with the stock brand speakers or get some higher quality ones that wont blow so easily? Also, any suggestions?and 2) Will getting new speakers void my warranty on my car?Thanks!
It is always a good idea to put factory equipment in vehicles whenever possible when it is still under warranty. However, aftermarket speakers are fairly safe. I hate to admit it but you can get better speakers for half the price! The reason I say they are fairly safe is because they would only void warranty on any problems caused by the speakers. Seams pretty safe to me since it's hard to see any major issues cause by a set of speakers.
Speakers are warrantied for 3 years 36,000 miles. Only very high voloume and bass setting can shake the stock speakers apart. Make sure the headliner above the rear speakers is not rattleing. Also speakers will not void your warranty. As a Nissan technician I have to prove any modification caused the failure that voids warranty.
