Audio Pics. Amps in tool tray, EQ in glovebox. Dynamat and speakers. This system really kicks.

3intheLBC's 2006 Mazda 3   For people interested in the Buddy Club Racing Spec Condenser Kit (Earthing system and Voltage Stabilizer) I'm posting a few pics of my install. I wanted it too look clean so I used wire loom that matches the factory stuff and routed the groundwires along the existing bundles. Works great. Smooths out the throttle response and acceleration in the mid-range, and eliminates low rev hesitation. I believe the main improvement comes from grounding of the Mazda3's electronic throttle body (ETB)

david, it sounds alright. it does produce most of the low notes that are missing from the factory system, so the music sounds like its supposed to, but it doesn't hit like a big sub. IMO, its a good compromise for getting some bass and not losing any space.

nice ride! love the photos! im wondering man, how does your subs sound? cause im pretty curious about it, seeing that the placement is like that. I wanna do it on mine too cause it doesn't eat up space and its small enough to get some bass but i wanna know how it sounds. please give me some idea or description! thanks! 5*s!

hey! nice ride, question about the stealthbox...so you have the 8" jl in there, how's it sound? i'm not that great with subs so i don't know the difference between a 10 and an 8. also where did you get the box for it and how was the install? and also how did the amp fit in the rack??
