Right off the bat one of the Bose speakers of my 8 was blown so I got that replaced but then less then a year the boses were acting up going in and out and sounded like crap so i fed up with them and replaced with JL c5650 and PIONEER TSD602p next to the I got a JL SUB and a Alpine AMP


PIONEER TSD602p


JL AUDIO C5650



the finished back





Then my Pioneer AVIC-D3 Navi then I put in a year ago or something like that

laythor

very nice!

I love the D3 in my car it really looks stock to the untrained eye.

djkrazy

Yeah i had that d3 for a while ...... better then the stock bose radio with the 8 .... one of the first things that i mod in the 8

laythor

I really like the rx8 etched into the plexi above your amp. How is it holding up to scratches and such in your trunk?

djkrazy

I actually did that myself someone else did it for me ......

Telexen

That setup looks great man. Especially love the RX8 logo on the plexiglass.

can you post some smaller pics from farther away? can't really tell how it looks with all the close-ups.

djkrazy

what kind of CF is that?

laythor

It looks like an overlay, not real CF

djkrazy

yeah its juts a overlay .... not real CF

still looks pretty good. at least its an actual weave and not some printed crap.

laythor

that looks pertty clean, nice work!

djkrazy

its vinyl thats why it doesnt look cheap

laythor

it's a great looking install and putting vinyl instead of real CF is the smart move. Real CF would add a horrible sound unless they put so much expanding foam behind it to float a small yacht.

djkrazy

I wise those guys at mazda didnt put BOSE in on the speaker ....... especially since i dont have them anymore and ..... everytime i look at it it only reminds me the days when i had problems with it

laythor

Do you mean on the doors? You could always get some type of badge and glue it over the bose emblem. Maybe get something made with your name on it.

Razz1

sure would be nice to see that at 7 stock.

R1Cky

not bad! a JL amp with a W6 would have been better though

Looks great! But I'm not gonna lie, could have done a better job hiding the amp wires.

djkrazy

i think that it looks clean .....

Telexen

A little less plexi on that edge would have done it - but the wires don't look bad at all IMO.

firebirdude

iTrader: (3)

Exactly. Even wire loom would be an improvement. Maybe even the colored nylon weaved loom? But as stated, looks great overall.
