Tell us more so that we can assist...

What year/trim level is your car, i.e. does it have the Bose system?

How did you blow the stock speakers? Did you connect your new amp?

Explain your setup and scenario- maybe we can provide some help.

One of them? All of them? Bose? non bose? This problem needs more information for me to be more helpful then saying you're going to need to replace the blown speakers with new ones.

How did you blow the speakers anyways?

you have an amp plugged into the Bose speakers??? They dont' need one.

Infinity Kappa speakers are an AWESOME fit, trust me... I know.
Which spearker? Rear deck speakers? Front speakers? What exactly do you need to replace?

agree! kappas are awesome. got rear deck infinity and two kappas 10" in the trunk. If you need replacement bose speakers hopefully you didnt blow all of them but front are probably easier to replace.

Rear deck, tweeters, and front center speakers can all be replaced with aftermarket speakers on the Bose system. They all have 2 or 4 ohms impedance.

The main Bose door speakers are 0.5 ohm, and are also 9 inches. Nothing aftermarket will work in this space. Only an OEM replacement from mazda or a junkyard. If you you want new door speakers, you'll have to power a set of aftermarket speakers off an aftermarket amp.

and by my post above, i mean if your going stock the front are easiest to replace rather than rear, but he is right, no aftermarket option for them. If you are going to replace them all i say go with infinity reference for room speakers and kappa for subs.
