Just a word of thought now that this issue with Bose equipped cx5 keeps popping out. When i help metalinvader with his Bose equipped cx5, we were faced with a serious subbass issue. There is no subbass sound emitting from the subwoofer at all, and this is made even more contusing because the...

Havent check this forum for awhile. Been getting pm about issues with Bose equipped cx5. Metalinvader, are you going to change the HU?

Yup, enjoy it mate! And you'll need this kind of socket to get the seat rail bolt out

Hello Squib, sorry for the late reply. 1. I connected the ground onto the chassis under the seat rail and bolt em' good. I removed the paint aswell for good measures. 2. I simply grab the front speaker wire output from my head unit as MS8's signal input. This answers questions number 4 also...

I chose to use my old and trusty Audison SrX4 for powering the front midbass and subwoofer, in 3 channels configurations. I installed it under the front passenger seats, directly in front of the footwell air-conditioner scoop. Keep the amp cool is always a good idea! As for the JBL MS8, well...

Ah what the heck, I'll do it now since somebody else was asking me about the cx-5 audio ~ For the community! Right, so first thing first is to remove the dash garnish thing so you have access to head unit bolts. Pry it off from the side of the dashboard, carefully. Then plug a small hole on...

Hello guys, sorry, I just read this forum again since I've been dealing with other car projects. I will try post the pictures again tonight, and probably do another video of the audio since there has been further refinement by EQ tuning and different crossover settings (still the same...

The stock speakers are pretty weak, and the tweeter will go first. The full range on the door is only good for midbass. i play around with it for quite a bit when i installed my jbl ms8. And i have experience with oem speakers from toyota, mitsubishi, vw etc, and the mazda cx5 speakers are the...

Alright people, basically this install is a wrap-up because the core of the install are done, and anything else after this are just adjustments to suit my brother's taste. And like Barry White said, let the music play!

Hi Voltz, thank you for your comment. Yes it does sound very impressive, especially when I consider the little effort it took me to get there, but this is because mostly due to MS8 processing prowess and the CX-5 is car audio friendly.

Yeah the MS8 is indeed pricey, but for what it can do is literally amazing which made it a must buy for any car audio lover. Especially when you want to keep everything simple. What I put into my brother's cx-5 is basically entry level grade car audio and following 'whatever fits' rule. As long...

Alright I got my Hertz CX87.3 coaxials for the dash, and it is time to put the rest of the gear in. I began by installing 4-channel amplifier to power the front door JBL coaxials, and JBL subwoofer. And due to power cable / ground location I decided to move the JBL under the driver seat (RHD...

No worries milkyxj! Right, so last night I decided to swap the rear speakers as I can't stand seeing my speakers sitting on idle. So as I founded out the rear speakers uses a similar shaped speaker as my previous car Nissan X-trail, and fortunately I didn't throw away the baffle I made for it...

So the next thing I will be doing is to soundproof the doors, wire a 4 channel amplifiers, subwoofer and change the speakers. Speakers wise, I am not too fused about the one on the front door, afterall I only need it for midbass duty because I am installing Hertz ECX87.3 speakers on the dash...

Hello boys and girls, I just like to share with you all my current car audio project for my bro's Mazda CX-5. I have to say, the CX-5 is a blast to work on, and I have to say the easiest I ever have to deal with. After one week of listening to the basic audio system (fullrange+tweet fronts and...
