I previously owned the 2015 cx5 and didnt mind the bass in that vehicle, however the first thing i noticed in the new 2017-18 was the bass was not as deep. hence was wondering if you can replace the current speakers with the older model?
GoFrogs I guess I shouldn't mention I have a full sets front rear of Focal Elite ES 165 KX3 in my MAZDA doors and while the sub frequency below 250Hz was not the goal the Lower mid-range is extremely complex and I like to think competition worthy.

Agree, my system was a lot of trial and error to build, and road noise is still only somewhat controllable. But I will say static parked in the garage engine off it's like having a SeSennheiser head set lessening to my music and relaxing. It is the only legal time I can be in my car and have glass of wine ! Currently I have been experimenting with a custom bult rear placement for the head rest Right and Left speaker channel system to help reduce and somewhat cancel a higher degree of road noise at highway speeds 65-85mph. This way I can easily remove them when not on a road trip but when I know I will be on a long trip just pop them into the factory head rest holes and turn on system which will also have its own amp.nice. cool frog. if only (big IF ONLY) our cars could be our living rooms...

Your head is in the right thought process but in the real world the bed liner does little to deaden most road noise except for impact of foreign material or objects. It does do a great job at protecting exposed areas of any vehicle.
