I've been searching all over Internet to find out what the sizes are for my Mazda 6 2010 (currently has Bose) speakers.

I've seen Ernie's post, but still didn't have my required information.

I am wanting to change the Deck for a pioneer 3200BT screen, but read that it couldn't be done. So I need to change the whole thing, with wires and whatnot, but I don''t know the speaker size needed!

Thanks for the help guys, it's super appreciated!

center channel - 3.5"
front & rear doors - 5.25", 5x7, 6x7, 6x8 will fit
rear deck - 3.5"

me personally i put 8" woofers in my doors , modding had to be done but nothing terrible.

Thanks a bunch for the info! The Bose system is god-knows bad!

How was the audio in the car with the new system you've put in?

Have a Happy New Year!

Nice... Did you replace the whole dash-unit, along with the wires and all, that was hooked-up to the Bose?

yep, different deck. put in a kenwood dnx-9140. needed navigation since i didnt get oem one. pretty much most wiring got changed as well.

 

[karlsm]

Damn. Did you wire it yourself or got it done? I am vehicle-mod handicap, but I have a buddy working for the Geek Squad at BB, that'll fix me a good price... It is worth the difference from the Bose ? I purchased a Pioneer AVH-P3200BT with the nav module and the backup camera; but again, I'm wondering if the difference it worth the money involved!

 

[Ankit69]

i had it done. but i helped out on a lot of it. if you were local i could suggest a place... where are you located?

10000000000000000% better than the bose... def. worth it.

Approx. Cost?

cost on what?... my entire system or something else?

I was thinking about changing my audio system and was just wondering about how much it costs to get really good sound in this car. I'm thinking it's costly with so many speakers in the car.

really hard to say it depends entirely on your budget, i'd say expect to pay at least $500 easy. more if you dont have power wires and rca's ran in your car. it really all depends on how "extreme" you want to go, i've probably spent a good $4-5k in audio in this car, if you count all the rcas, headunit, power wires, component speakers, subwoofers, amps, boxes etc...

i only changed my front speakers, you dont need to change them all...

Thanks, I figured it would probably be a few grand to get a complete nice quality system. I guess I should start saving.

I'm in Ontario, Canada (close to Ottawa). I'm thinking on this setup right here; can anyone comment about pros and cons ?

Kappa Infinity 6" x 8" Component 680.9CS (front doors)
Kappa Inifinty 6" x 8" 682.cf (back doors)
Pioneer AVH-3200BT ( w/ back-up camera )
Sound Ordnance B24 (twin 12" bandpass enclosure subwoofer)
Sound Ordnance M-1500 Mono amplifier ( 500w RMS at 2 ohm )
Sound Ordnance M-4100 4 Channel amplifier ( 100w RMS x 4 )

I am a total noobie when it comes to speakers; I have no idea what all the numbers mean. Anyone commenting and/or informing me on better set-ups, I would very much appreciate...

My friend working at Best Buy will do the install for me. We'll go through the Geek Squad, in order to assure a certain warranty on the installation. He told me installation should cost about 500$ for all the devices... Any sense in this ?

Thanks guys!!

How did you do this if you had the Bose system ? I read that changing the deck and the front speakers meant changing the whole system, and re-wiring everything ?

i had bose.. you can change whatever you want, i changed the front components only.. the rears are not plugged in.

 

[karlsm]

Ha, now I understand! And it still sounds good with just them two speakers running ?

Basic, 2-speaker aftermarket stereo beats bose, yes.

4 2-way speakers powered by a deck definitely sound better.

Components are nicer in the front, but it's enough of an upgrade just to swap out speakers.

 

[karlsm]

Nice, cool then; I ordered Kappa Infinity Components for the front and "regular" 6"x8" Kappa Infinitiy's for the back, plus a 12" sub; it should be good; I'll let you guys know how it sounds compared to Bose, when they're all installed!

Thanks for the heads up!

When you say Component speakers in the front. Did you change out the speakers up near the side view mirrors? If that's the case, what size are they and is it easy to replace them with aftermarket speakers?
