I don't really know and I don't want to hijack the thread but, are the non-bose stock speakers easily replaceable with the original bose ones? Like in size etc?

They are worth pretty much nothing.
Unless you ask the parts counter at a mazda store, then they are worth their weight in gold


If you are trying to sell them, you probably wont get more than $0 for them

300 watts of what? PMPO? Sure as hell ain't RMS power. It's about as close to 300 watts as those boomboxes that would claim "10000 Watts of POWAH!" from 4 D-cell batteries.

I need to find pictures of the Bose **** that I ripped out of the Mazda6. One look at the subwoofer amp would make anyone who cared about audio cry blood.

You really have a crappy Mazda 6... it makes mine sound so much better. The stock sound system is pretty good for the average joe, better than Acura's system I believe.

But I haven't heard the one in my Rx-8 yet, since I love the sound of the Engine!

The sound of the engine when it revs is something to die for =)

But the BOSE system isn't that great on the RX8 anyways, the JBL system I had on the '07 Camry Hybrid was much better than it surprisingly O_o or maybe not so surprisingly...

but bottom line, the BOSE system isn't that nice and I'd love to install some aftermarket ones on it if it weren't for the $$ involved.
