    2016 Constant squeaking brakes

    Heres a video of my squeaky brakes. You might have to turn up the volume in order to hear it. Keep in my mind that my foot is not resting on the brake pedal the entire time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97fwTIQK9UE

    2016 CX-5 Full System Install (non-Bose, standard audio with display)

    Thats a very clean install. Looks like your Alpine amp was a perfect fit under the seat. I also like the mounting location for the front tweeters. Did you get any bass rolloff on your sub system? If so, does the DQ-61 bring back the low end bass that is cut off from the factory EQ?

    Central Control Storage Box (By JessicaAlba!)

    I like it but twenty dollars is a little steep for me. She also make sparkly key rings for your ignition start button if you want to dazzle up your interior. LOL. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DK7JMGC/?tag=m20b7-20

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    Jrod...Like RLCarrington had stated earlier, the TAU is probably built into the head unit for the 2014 CX-5. Heres a picture of a CX-5 head unit that I found on Ebay.

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    Thats a great question. I didnt take the amp cover off but from what I can tell, the connectors on the bose amp are too small for the PAC harness. That would of been nice it we were able to connect the PAC from there.

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    I didnt feel the need to mount my amplifier under the seat. It's heavy enough that it wouldn't slide around on the carpet. I also like be able to pull out the amplifier from under the seat to make adjustments if needed. I had a buddy who velcroed his amplifier to the carpet in a different car...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    I doubt the centerpoint would have an affect on the signal to the PAC. I dont notice any difference bass difference wether the centerpoint is turned on or not. I usually leave the centerpoint off anyways. As for the fader, my subwoofer amplifier is connected to the front speaker signal on...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    No problem Jrod. The hardest part was just trying to cut a hole big enough for the 4 gauge power wire to go through that thick rubber grommet. If I were try it again, I wouldnt have used a knife. Instead I would used a drill or a spade bit to make a hole in the grommet. Just be careful not...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    I think you're right about the Bose roll off being at 45Hz or lower. Yesterday I had just remember that my amplifier has a bass boost equalizer at 45Hz. I turned up the bass boost and readjusted my amplifier gain. Sadly the bass boost didn't help neither as my subwoofer was still lacking the...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    Thanks for the clarification on the bass roll off. Its too bad that the Bose system doesn't have a EQ for adjustments other than bass and treble. My subwoofer is an old 2006 12" Fi Q with no options. It still plays loud and sounds great doing so after many years of hard usage. Hope you get...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    Thanks Anonymous, the pictures of your system installation helped me out a great deal. You had more wiring to deal with and did better hiding the wires underneath the carpet. As for my subwoofer box, I had already changed it out to a smaller black box to help save a little room and have a...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    Im not getting any bass cutoff as the volume is turned up but unfortunately I do notice some minor EQ going on. Its like if the head unit has a built in low pass crossover that is set somewhere around 60HZ. I believe this will happen regardless of where you tap the signal for the amplifier...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    I wanted to install an amplifier to my CX-5 without having to cut any wire harness. I found some information from another forum "Mazda3revolution.com" on how someone had used the PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter on his 2015 Mazda 3 Bose with great results. The adapter plugs into the Tuner Amp Unit (TAU)...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    My subwoofer is an old Fi Q model from 2006 with no options. Its a dual 1 ohm vc wired into series for a 2 ohm load. The sound quality is excellent and can get pretty loud even in a sealed box. My amplifier is a MB Quart Onx 1500.1D running at 1000watt at 2 ohms. I might change out to a...

    2016 Constant squeaking brakes

    Looks like Im having the same problem with my 2016 GT 4000mi CX-5. Squeaking happens when the car slowly rolls after releasing the brake pedal. Im going to try to take off the wheels and see if anything is stuck on my brakes.
