    2016~2023 Finally replaced the stock CX-9 Bose subwoofers

    You broke one of the connectors on the harness, or you broke one of the connectors on the factory amp itself? Post a picture of exactly what's going on.

    2021 CX-9 Complete Stereo Upgrade

    Obviously you have to keep the factory headunit. With today's technology, that's not a problem. We have tools to overcome this limitation. I used my D'Amore Engineering SMD DD-1 and found that the head unit starts putting out distortion at 53 at 1kHz, so I did all of my tuning at 52 on the...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?
