    How to transfer my CD collection to CX-9?

    Not sure where you got that from, but that's not true. It is indeed lossless.

    2016~2023 8" speakers fit perfectly in the CX-9 doors!

    I have Focals in my truck and in my wife's car. They're very, very good for sure, and yes I like them a lot. But they ain't Linear Power.

    How to transfer my CD collection to CX-9?

    I can hear the difference in my stereos, for absolute sure. BIG difference. Even if you have a factory stereo now, if you want to upgrade in the future, why limit yourself with an ancient Windows 3.1 era format MP3?

    How to transfer my CD collection to CX-9?

    This is how I do it: Download a free program call Exact Audio Copy, or EAC for short There are a lot of options that you have to go through to make sure it will rip correctly. There are guides out there that will help you with this. Now, open up your Music Folder on your desktop, and inside make...

    The subs are fine back there. And I had the whole Hertz Mille Pro MPK163.3 3 way set with the "matching" 6.5's in the front doors, but they simply weren't what I was after. The Linear Power 8's are just SO much better in every way.

    Dealership or Jiffy Lube

    This is the deal with Quick Lube joints: they will NEVER use the correct oil filter for your motor. Ever. They only have 4 or 5 SKU's of oil filters, and they pick whichever one physically threads onto your car, with ZERO regards to wether or not it's actually the right rating for your car...

    Mazda5 sound deadening complete

    Never noticed a difference with the mileage. So added maybe 20-30 pounds.

    Mazda5 sound deadening complete

    Sorry, can't remember. Probably 1 pound though, because I was able to get it behind the door cards pretty easily.
