Question
Hello Sir,

I have a 2005 Mazda 3 sedan, 2.3 ltr eng, w/ 6 speaker stock stereo and w/ 6 cd changer. I have 2 tweeters, %26 4 door speakers...all stock.

I added a 1000 w amp w/ sub woofer in the trunk of the car, and the bass sounds great, however, I would like to have better sound quality from the mids %26 high.

I would like to take it one step at a time %26 also keep the amount as low as possible. What are your thoughts to try first.

Thanks,
Trent

Answer
Sorry, I don't do recommendations. Why?  Because there are so many subjective factors when choosing electronic products.  Especially audio products.  Sound quality, installation, power handling, enclosure, mounting requirements, color, fit, finish, cost, etc.

Here are some recommendations for you:

-  Go through the "outfit my car" at www.crutchfield.com as they have a database on all cars and if you work through it you can find speakers that will fit or can be modified to fit your car.

-  Do some review checking with google searching.  You will find such sites as:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Car-Audio/Car+Speakers/abcat0302005.c?id=abcat030200...

and so forth.

Wishing you the best.
