Hey, I've got 2 boxes under the driver's seat in my '93 Pathfinder. One I know is the alarm (I had to remove it because it was screwed up by a previous owner.), the other I'm not so sure. It has a sticker on it that has the (brand?) K+H (where the + is really this funny star thing) and the part number on it is BJ9552. It has a 17 pin harness:

I suspect it might be audio related? Can anyone confirm or deny this?
The stereo was shot when I bought my rig used, I pulled it to put in an aftermerket deck. I've installed maybe a dozen decks before and never has any real problem... hook up the constant power/switched power/ground, then hook up the speakers, and voila! Not so this time. Nissan apparently decided it would be a fun exercise in futility to design for an amp-less deck in the dash, with separate amps burried in varoius places for the front and rear speakers. ie: no "real" speaker wires for me to hook up my new deck to. I finally found the amp for the rear speakers (a ~round little clarion, I believe) behind the floor air vents, waaaaay back behind the CD player position. That was half the battle. I have been busy and have yet to find the amp for the front speakers. I'm half tempted to run my own wires under the carpet to the front doors and just do a splice there, but I'd rather not have to get at the doors. I'll take a better look at this "black box" tomorrow and see if it might be the answer.
Like I said, if anyone has any ideas... post 'em, or email me. You might save me some head scratching.
Thanks,
