Interesting on USB transit. I have a few audio systems from 80s analogue with turntable / M/C cart , HT rigs And plenty of different sources. A couple of them are USB based DACs with ESS Sabre chipset at 24bit / 96k and 32bit / 192k. On these I can*t pick any major nuances In dynamics compared...

Bluetooth wise is still only running A2DP standard for streaming audio. So basically it's limited to roughly the sound quality of 320k Mp3 . However the process does convert some music formats which does drop sound quality a bit. I disagree with the noise factor statement above with USB as a...

Three pages and no ones driven one. I like the low rpm nature of our one. Makes for a very quiet drive) No need to rev it as 90% of torque available off idle. Visits to gas station are infrequent with 35.6 mpg ( longer on trips) Combo of reasonable torque and enough power means safe enough...

So it*s not distortion then ? Just the door card rattling?

Probably caused by the amp clipping the bass if running 6db of bass boost at a moderate volume. Reduce the bass boost as you increase volume

15 months / 22,000kms. No issues with the red paint.

Interesting enough we parked to another soul crystal red Cx-5 . We had ours ceramic coated after it*s first service so mild paint correction was done and a couple of stone chips were also done. Side by side my wife*s cx-5 paint surface looked far better with less marking and swirls in the...

I wouldn't get too hung up on low end performance of these speakers and looking at the curve. I think with the modest power of Sony amp you'd be better off running these above 80 hz and let the sub fill in the lower registers. Otherwise chasing good Midbass say down to 50hz from a 6.5 you'd...

Update / solved Brought another set of headrests with an aim of shaving the foam on the drivers face of headrests. I asked for faux leather ones as per the wife*s gsx. But by mistake we got sent the leather wrapped ones from a Ltd model. I*m looking closely at the leather ones and notice a...

Map reading lights as per my old 1981 Mazda 626 coupe. Great feature before Nav sat and mobile phones 😀

Thanks for posting as with each build I learn more with each build. Need to tackle the cx5 at some stage in a similar manner. Rear speakers are typically an issue regardless of tech used as they trend to destroy the image in the front. I tend to run them 30db down compared to the fronts if at...

These were built in New Zealand some bits around. Ive been collect bits for about 20 years and have imported all the trim and some go faster bits from the UK. Engine is mini with a later model turbo curb. Turbo is from a 1988 Mazda 323 turbo which will be set for 12psi.

Headrests are sub par. Need fore / aft adjustments. 1996 BMW 3 series previously . Otherwise , an excellent vehicle at price point

445 m to reserve light / 536 m to empty. In theory . Everyday driving . Longer if highway miles. 2.2 turbo diesel.

Didn't buy the cx-5 with Bose but test drove one. To me it sounded too boomy , lacked well articulated bass and didn't like the way centrepoint tries to pull the stereo image to the centre on mid to high frequencies. Basically put the sound stage all over the place on certain instruments ...

Have a 2002 BMW M3 which is used daily. Done roughly 160000 and is quite a contrast to the 2018 cx5 2.2d Also building a retromod out of a 1963 mini ex circuit car. Will be running a 1330cc turbo with roughly 140hp and weighing 1100 pounds
