    IF you have a hatchback, they are very conducive for loud bass since it's a shared airspace with the cabin and trunk. If you have the sedan... I'm sorry that you have a traditional trunk. I am avoiding adding an aftermarket amp to the car by just using the pre-existing speaker wires for the...

    Impossible to find one word about this online. So, in all non Bose Mazda 3s since 2019 the audio settings offer Drivers Seat or All Seats position where audio is focused. Had a subwoofer installed and its only is heard when in drivers seat mode. The technician at install place said he didnt...

    I’m wondering if I need an LOC if the powered subwoofer I plan to implement has “high level inputs”. Keep in my mind I also plan to keep the factory speakers unchanged. I have a 2021 base model Mazda 3.

    Custom fiberglass + dynamat enclosure that fits perfectly and bolts into to spare tire jack spot in hatch, plus 8" 4ohm Kicker sub & Orion Cobalt CO5001 amp. This puppy was custom made for the Gen1 (2007-2008) MS3 but also fits the Mazda 3 and is the best way to add bass without sacrificing...

    About to do a subwoofer install in my mazda 3. Going to use the Audiocontrol LC2I and tap in before the bose amp. Is this the best way of doing it? I've been browsing these forums quite a bit and people say if you tap in before it messes with the bose amp somehow? Can someone confirm this...

    Hey, just bought a 2018 mazda 3 sedan and was wondering if there's anyway if adding an aftermarket sub. Also wondering if doing that would void the warranty somehow. Had a 2006 mazda 3 with twin 12" subs in the trunk and would like to put them in this car.

    Has anyone found a place that make stealth sub-woofer boxes for the hatchback? I want to add a sub-woofer to my 18' GT.

    Hey guys, I like the Bose system, it's pretty decent. However, I wanted to add a subwoofer to the mix. It isn't powered so it requires a separate amp but I've never done an install with a factory headunit. I've always been able to just run RCAs to the aftermarket deck and tune everything. How do...

    After the 6-disc changer head unit crapped out on my 2008 S GT I decided to replace the amplifier and sub woofer as well. I went with a Kenwood Epsilon head, an Alpine four channel amp and a JBL sub. This is not a "blow your hair back" system but a nicely balanced and very clear system. But I...

    Hello, until now I was only a "reader" in this very useful forum but now I want to write my first post with a quite big problem concerning a subwoofer installation in a 2014 Mazda 3 w/ Bose. I've installed my sub according to this a useful guide from user eshaz on this forum. So the signal...

    The way I have my sub installed, there is a 3 foot run where the RCA cables to the amp run with the wires to the sub. They are going in opposite directions... Here is a diagram of what I mean. ----------------------------------------> AMP SUB <------------------------ Is...

    Adding a Subwoofer. 10" or 12" Well, I have read and reread the sweet plug and play write up @wcarman1 did http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/2014-2017-mazda-3-skyactiv-how-guides/65953-bose-stereo-subwoofer-install-plug-play.html and it makes me really want to get a subwoofer now. I like...

    Hi there I just bought a Mazda 3 2014 Skyactive (hatchback), the European version I assume since I'm located in Iceland. What a car!!! I'm looking for a stealth subwoofer enclosure, something that can be attached to the side wall of the trunk, and not take up all the space like regular...

    I have a 2014 Mazda 3 Touring and my first mod was dropping a sub in. I had it installed professionally at a reputable place and it sounds amazing.. EXCEPT for this darn plastic housing for my blindside detection. Just about every note my sub bangs out rattles the housing and it is ruining my...
