I’m most likely going to replace it. Yes.Are you going to install a new head unit?
Thanks for the documents. When you said turn off the functionality in the head unit, did you mean replace it? Or is that a setting.@Jwolfe94
To start:
Get a quality 4 channel amplifier (wire it in before the BOSE amp) to drive the following:
replace the front with 6.5" components (door / a pillar)
replace the rear doors with 5.5" coax
disconnect center speaker
turn off the BOSE functionality in the head unit
The doors are pretty well sound insulated; but I went ahead and did a dampening material around the front components (I'm running ~ 75 watts RMS).

I popped in a set of Polk db351's in the dash this afternoon. Pretty easy job once I gave up on trying to find a speaker adapter so I wouldn't have to cut the plug off the end of the Mazda harness. No luck on that. I hit several car stereo installation places and found nothing. Most of the...www.mazdas247.comBlose Dash Speakers
Are the corner dash speakers the same as the center speaker? My right mid/tweeter is buzzing and I never use the center. Would rather swap them than pay $78 for a speaker with $1.30 in manufacturing cost.www.mazdas247.com
The knowledge sharing document also has some information on subwoofer replacement choices should you choose to go down that path.
