Louder, huh? Interesting, I didn't think it could get much louder than it is now, haha... although maybe the actual Mazda rack is more streamlined and therefore quieter to begin with... since you're not using your fairing, wanna sell it? ;-)

I put a Thule roof rack on my '10 Mazda5 this weekend and I'm surprised at how loud it is... As soon as I hit 30mph or so it sounds like I'm sitting in a wind tunnel. I've heard two things... one, wrap a bungee around the front bar which could help. Does this really help? And two, get the...

I've read all the tire/vibration threads to death, and am just wondering if anyone with a 2010 5 has had vibration issues... I had the dealer look at it once and they checked the balance and said it was fine, the tech took a ride with me and basically said it's normal and it's how they drive...

That code says it's a "gross" leak, not a minor leak... I'd be willing to bet the gas cap wasn't put back on correctly, or at all. Clearing it will probably be fine.

I actually got a Griffin autopilot and it works pretty well... the headphone jack on my iPod Touch only comes out of one side (and Apple wants to replace it for $250... a $250 refurb 1G iPod Touch? No thank you) so I had to figure out a way to get sound out of the dock connector, and this lets...

Heat, curious why you put in your rear speakers but not the fronts? I ask because I really don't even hear the rear speakers from the front, so I haven't considered changing the rear speakers... I'd like to get a little bit better sound out of the stock HU while spending under $100 and it seems...

What's the best way to install new tweeters, then? I get weary about actually cutting factory gear, so in my 3 I simply took out the old tweeters, and taped the new ones in place in the same "hole" ... yeah, probably not the best way considering like you said they should be directional, haha...

I suppose this is an entirely different question, but is a 5.25" woofer better than a 5x7/6x9 woofer? They really won't be played too loudly so it's mainly average volumes I'm worried about. I know ovals will distort at higher volumes, but should I go with an oval speaker for more bass at...

Is it a problem to just replace the front speakers but leave the factory tweeters in? Is there some sort of "factory" splitter to split the frequencies between the tweeter and the woofer? I assume if I do this and replace them with 2 way speakers that the new speaker's tweeter will just go...

I was at the dealer yesterday and asked what their price was for something to hook up an iPod to my 2010 5... They said I needed 2 things, the integration kit as well as some type of harness. One was 140 and one was 120... I found this on mazdaparts.org , would just this work? I don't have...

Any comments on the quality of the picture on the Innovatek headrest? It says the resolution is only 480x234 which is pretty bad.
