    Looking for a pair of sailing panels that go behind the side view mirrors, that doesn't come with factory tweeters. I want to put my own tweeters in. Anyone? Thanks. :)

    Bose Headunit Line Out Dilemma

    I'm adding a Bose HU (mainly because of the DIS) to a non-Bose MS3. Since the Bose HU is not amplified, does it make sense to simply run speaker level inputs to an external amp, or a LOC is still a better choice? I'm confused on this one. Thanks for any help.

    Power Windows Always on Mod?

    So that you can control the windows even with the ignition off. Has anybody done this? I've done it to my P5 before but can't seem to find anybody who knows how to do this to a MS3. The theory is probably to wire power window module to one of the power constant wires. Any electronics genius out...

    Mazdaspeed3-powered Supasse V supercar

    Hmmm, tasty. "Picture if you will, an exotic car that takes a few stylistic cues from the Pagani Zonda and Ferrari Enzo, then distills them into a package the size of a Lotus Exige. Now imagine if it was powered by a tuned 2.3-liter DOHC turbo engine from the Mazdaspeed3 channeled through that...

    Non Bose MS3 Pre-wired for adding amps?

    I have a 2008.5, non-Bose system. I understand for cars that come with the Bose system, the amp and sub reside under the driver and passenger's seat. So for cars that don't have the Bose system, is the car pre-wired that can be tapped into easily? What I want to probably do is adding a sub/amp...

    New 2008.5 MS3 CWP owner

    New/old guy saying hi. Used to hang around here when I had a 2002 Protege5, sold that car for an Infiniti FX35. Now added another Mazda to the garage. (drinks) As much as I love the Infiniti FX, it can't touch the handling and sheer fun of the MS3. (drinks) I really like everything Mazda has...

    Skyline GTR concept vid at Tokyo Motor Show

    Took some pics and video when I was over there last weekend. Somehow the after the video was transfered from my digicam and downsized for web, the sound got lost. But you still get the idea. I thought the new Skyline was a big departure from the last one, it still looks good but lacks...

    http://www.crutchfield.com/S-sAqOKpFS41Z/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?i=065SL80&search=sl80 Anyone heard these speakers? I wonder how they sound. Been thinking of replacing the front door Infinity coaxials. I also wonder the size of the woofer, it looks like 5.25. Are there other 6x8 components that...

    Gauge display dimmed, why?

    The glow on my P5's gauge display all of a sudden seems darker than usual. The display lights do come on but it's just darker than before, it's especially obvious when the sun is setting, the ambient light is sorta bright and sorta not, it became hard to tell if the headlights were on. I'd made...

    tranny fluid/coolant flush: Shop or DIY

    My car is due for the 30,000 service and I am debating whether to bring it to a shop or do it myself. Mazda wants $167 for the whole shebang, but I have changed the spark plugs myself. I could probably do it myself and save some money but I figure shops have the proper equipment to do a cleaner...

    Shopping for good HUs

    Though I should start a new thread instead of continuing to jack that guy's thread. (hand) Pioneers have always been my fav. HUs, but this one I am looking at that's close to my range has only 2.2v outputs. http://www.cardomain.com/item/PIODEHP7700MP?vq_id=none :( otherwise I would have to go...

    Bridging the door speakers?

    My new 4-channel Alpine F240 is running really hot, almost too hot to touch, after only 20 minute of driving. So I am wondering about my wiring scheme and wanted to get you guys' opinions. I have Infinity Reference 6802cf 6x8s up front, and pair cheap Pioneer 5.25 G1340 in the back for rear...
