Yes. I used a pair of the Bose mounting brackets part number KD45-66-A61. The factory Bose door speakers are 9's, so the 8's were a natural match. I used a sheet of ⅛" aluminum that I cut out with a jigsaw to mount the 8" Linears to the 9" Bose brackets.

I'm in the process of doing my install now, and with luck I'll have it finished up tomorrow. I told you about the JL's in the dash, iny front doors I have Linear Power LP8.0's (iny opinion the very best 8" speakers in the world), in the rear doors Kenwood Excelon 6.5's because they're...

The wires are there, the are in parallel with the tweeters and door speakers. You'll have to pop the cover up, and you'll see the tweeter and a blank block off plate. The size of the daah speakers are 3.5". 4's *will not* fit, I tried. I wound up getting some JL Audio C2 3½'s, and they fit...

Hopefully the plugs you used were NGK OE Laser Iridium's, and literally nothing else, not even the NGK Iridium IX's. Was there any oil on the plugs when you pulled them out? And did you inspect the coil pack boots?

It absolutely sounds like you're on the right path! The PCM is located directly on the side of the battery box. There's a cover that you pop off, and then you'll see the wires and the PCM itself. Once you know what to look for, you can't miss it. You may want to invest in a one time...

A little trick I learned from the Porsche community. Use some very inexpensive gutter guards from Home Depot, and secure them to the back of your grille with zip ties to keep the garbage out of your intercooler/condenser/radiator! I also installed the OEM fog lights while I had it apart.

Yeah it happens. If you're brave and have the tools, you can fix it where it sits. Jack under the transmission, push the motor up Remove the battery and battery box. This also entails removing the PCM, as it rides on the battery box. After the battery box is removed, you'll see a black plate...

Get the OEM ones.

Fancy new shoes! Michelin Cross Climate 2 from Discount Tire. They matched Sam's club prices and have road force balancers, so yeah went there instead.

Don't. Just, don't. Your headlights are arguably the second most important safety system on your car after your brakes. Don't mess with them.

Scored a set of roof rails with the crossbars for $200 shipped! Score!

They aren't afraid to have their equipment tested by anyone, bet that. Their stuff is so good, they sell amps to Nashville recording studios, and I'm not kidding about that. They have been in business since 1969. Unlike Orion, PPI, Kicker, and Rockford Fosgate, their products are still handmade...

The speakers are Linear Power LP8.0's that I mounted in the doors with OEM Mazda Bose adapter plates part number KD45-66-A61. The speakers didn't quite fit those brackets, so I used a piece of 1/8" sheet aluminum to make adapters to go from the Linear Power speakers to the Mazda speaker...
