2008 Mazda3 i - Any rca outs?

[Rob W]

Does anyone know if the stock radio has any sub out/line out rca's?

If not, then how would you run subs? For the 2008 mazda3 i sedan that I had just purchased yesterday!

Thanks

probably a bit late but anyway...

no stock deck will have RCA outs, you need a Line Out Converter spliced into probably the back speakers. If that in its self sounds complicated, go to a shop.
other option is an aftermarket deck which is better for many reasons

Thanks for the reply.

Been looking into aftermarket radios - I usually install them myself, but have never owned a newer car of this age (used to the 90s cars where it was easy).

Anything special I need to look out for? As far as alarms, chimes, etc.

I may end up splicing into rear speakers just to keep dash intact.

MTX ReQ would be one to look at, no idea your budget but if you want to go all out maybe a Audison BitOne or JBL MS8.
If your not comfortable with tearing into your car, just let a shop do it.
I've never taken apart your make and model, so I can't honestly say if there's any surprises lol

Sounds good. Thanks for the info
