    I gotta ask, what happened to Conrad 16.5?

    He was banned a just few days ago. What in the world happened?

    *Unpopular Opinion* I just got greased at the dealer and I don't care

    Is $74CAD like 85¢ US anyway? 🥹 JK, when you're in pain, you simply can't do certain things. My wife just had her hip done in November, and before that happened, it hurt me just watching her walk around.

    No rear speakers. Aftermarket speaker recommendations?

    Hell, you can hardly hear them sitting in the back seat. I truly believe Mazda did this intentionally, to try to build a half decent soundstage. Go listen to any *truly* good car stereo, one that competes in the Sound Quality League in MECA or IASCA. Those cars will absolutely blow you away. And...

    Installing auxiliary lights behind the grille

    Do you have the roof bars? Put the light bar up there. If you don't have the roof bars, install them, and still put the light bar up there.

    Installing auxiliary lights behind the grille

    Personally I'd put small ones down near the bottom, in the air dam, and not in front of the radiator. And notice I said small.

    No rear speakers. Aftermarket speaker recommendations?

    People will sue over anything, I swear. As I said before, rear speakers are almost worthless anyway, and in our 21 CX-9, even at full blast, you can hardly hear them anyway.

    Need 2018 CX-9 Stereo wiring diagram for non bose 28 pin connector

    Not sure if the 2018 is the same as my 2021, but this is what I did with the amp that's under the passenger seat: Don't mess with the 28 pin connector. The one you want is the white connector next to it with 8 wires coming out of it...

    2021 CX-9 Complete Stereo Upgrade

    Changes! Because I can't leave well enough alone. "You can't put 8's where the factory put 6.5's!" Hold my beer. 2 days of drafting, 5 prototypes, and the adapter works, and the Linear Power LP8.0's dropped in the rear doors in place of the otherwise useless rear speakers and Blows subwoofer in...
