How to upgrade car audio?

How can I upgrade my car stereo?

  • I have a Mazdaspeed 3 which comes with a Bose stereo system. Its not too bad, but I'd prefer something better. Especially since it comes with a small sub(under the front passenger seat). I would like to replace that sub since its sound is pretty non existent, but I don't want to build sub boxes as I always use my car for carrying stuff like skis, bikes, etc... Can I replace that Bose sub under the seat with something better or would I also need to add a amp somewhere? I'm not looking for an overpowering bass to shake the neigborhood, just something to bring out all the sounds. Thanks

  • Answer:

    without building a whole box, have you tried a BAss Tube? I used to have a pair of 8" Kicker BAss tubes in my 87 Mazda B2600, and those things really shook it up nice. And if you know how tiny those trucks are (and that I'm 6'3") then you know space was at a premium. One thing though,, you might want to use some capacitors (or crossovers) or something else to re-channel the bass frequencies exclusively to the tubes (or you sub woofer if you just ugrade that) as it'll help the rest of your speeakers not blow.

well most likely any upgrades you make unless they are the same power as the pervious you will have to upgrade your amp too. however, if you want to just get very clear sounds i would recommend looking into a cross over. if you are not firmiliar with that it basicially is a box that hooks into your radio that sepperates the high noise (tweeters) mids (speakers) and the low notes (bass) and since you have a bose stero it sounds that should be all you need.
