So after getting rid of my 03 TL-S, I picked up my 08 Mazda 6 non bose miss the bose already even though it wasn't that good. But anyway I am in the market for new audio.

More than likely going to make my own box i'm just deciding if I want, 2 10's or 1 10. I was looking into the polk line to save some dough since I just bought a house and what not. 4 channel amp will come later on. For now I'm just looking for sub, mono amp and probably interior speakers.

- I listen to Hip hop, r&b, country, some rap more old school rap, Oldies, and a little bit of jazz

Don't really have a set budget not looking to break the wallets more then they already are.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Kevin

Once you throw a sub in, it's gonna sound like ass with the stockies. Rule of thumb is to start from the front and move your way back.

Is trunk space a concern?

Also, are you willing to buy used?

trunk space is somewhat a concern not really since it has a decent size trunk..

and I'm always down to buy used LOL!

I wish I could change the headunit but the metra kit for the Mazda is around 250 just for the kit.

eggyhustles

Hmm

Since you're gonna use the stock headunit, might as well get a processor.

There's a 360.2 here for 225

Sub wise, i'm gonna lead toward a 15" ssa dcon. 93db @ 1w efficiency so you'll get gobs of output with minimal power(250-300w). Only cost $139, too.

Needs 4 cubic feet sealed, though.

How big is the trunk?

I dont know how big the trunk is exactly I will have to get back to you on that.

I have never seen myself with a 15 now

had one b4 but that's when I was younger LOL

eggyhustles

Do it. The sub is not an spl monster or anything. It's sq first, spl second. Can't really beat it for $139 bucks.




enclosure requirements are
Sealed: 2.0-3.0ft^3
Sealed Optimal: 3.25-4.0ft^3
Standard Ported: 3.0-4.0ft^3 @ 28-33hz
Optimal Ported:4.0-5.0ft^3 @ 28-33hz

Should work well in 4 cubes sealed

There is a guy (Chuyler1) that had/has a Mazda 6 with an incredible infinite baffle sub setup, aka No trunk space lost.

I would look him up on the boards.

he's on Azine or a different board?

Not here, but on several forums including DIYMA, and the Mazda forums. A quick google search

O Mazda24/7 didnt think about it LOL!

But DIYMA is far better at covering what the audio was all about

Yea Im going through the posts clean job

eggyhustles

Saw this on diyma

2 of these for <250 is pretty darn good.

I was thinking..along with fourth, it would be cool to piece together a whole setup of stuff that's either in the classifieds or hot deals section on diyma.

eggyhustles

Better yet, these idq 10's are an even better deal
