I have a non Bose six speaker system in my 2017 Mazda CX-5 and have hated that bloaty, base heavy sound, with low treble and with no focus at all BUT to my surprise as the temperature dropped to minus 7 degrees C this morning the speakers suddenly came out alive and I was just blown away. The base was tight, the midrange clear and exact and the treble very pleasant, without being harsh. Is this the same system or what, I kept thinking. I almost missed my turn in to the hospital, enjoyed the sound so much! The cold must have tightened the membrane (behaving more like a coated membrane speaker instead of the plain paper cone speaker that it is). It also shows that there is a great potential if we can get the right speaker in this system. After this experience I am convinced that there are two ways to go here,
(1) Pull out the door cards and paint those paper speakers with Wood glue (diluted with water) to stiffen them up. Let them dry and then, re mount the door cards and enjoy the sound. Cheap and good. No need to take out the speakers.
OR
(2) Change to a good quality coated speakers, possibly with inbuilt tweeters to liven up the sound.
Come summer, I am going route number two, but am very tempted to try and test route number one as a cheap fix.
Just my two cents!
