of note the CX-5 wiring (above) looks very similar to the 2014-2018 Mazda 6 Bose teardown (below) which also provides a really nice walkthrough video of the testing he did with a scope.

Found these 2018 CX-5 Bose wiring diagrams, and the cable color and pin locations match the results of the Mazda 6 Bose teardown thread that shows you get differential line-level inputs under the passenger seat going into the Bose amp and can completely remove the Bose amp if replacing with an...

Roadtrip to Canada with with the Eibach prokit / factory shocks and Sottozero runflats was great. Handling improved and ride with factory shocks is still pretty accommodating in town with potholes. More planted at speed and better cornering for sure. There were a few cases the B6 yellow shocks...

They didn’t need any camber parts, so returning them. Rides good so far and taking an 800 mile road trip this long weekend with plenty of mountain roads so looking forward to that!

Update worked great, thanks for posting!

That's a decent route to go. I used the AudioControl LC2i to clean up the bass signal before sending it to the sub in my Mazda3. That was a pretty decent setup and a huge improvement over stock. If you like music with deep musical bass, the bose systems tend to boost a lot at 50Hz and doesn't...

Getting my Eibach E10-55-021-04-22 installed on 2019 Sig tomorrow. Was going to get the Bilstein B6 shocks but TireRack says they're special order only, so going with stock shocks. Have a camber kit too if they need it, will see what they say.

Looks like the JL twk-88 DSP is another good choice, and they have that integrated to their VX amp line as well. Using twk-88 to tap into differential inputs going into Bose amp on a Nissan Leaf: https://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=24188&sid=c60069eea9cd1ef4c2b0dc1aaac6ca49&start=10...

Will have the prokit springs installed this week or next, trying to decide if I add the Bilstien B6 shocks as well ... we don't seem to have a Bilstien B8 option for the CX-5 gen2, but the B6 is probably fine. https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/showpost.php?p=24010910&postcount=12
