    I should know in a couple weeks. I got the idea from the HLCD sub-forum on DIYMA. I won't be the first person to try it, and the 800PRS is no slouch, so I'm expecting good results. The general idea is to keep the system in this car as small and lightweight as possible while getting excellent daily sound, and this plan fits those goals nicely.

    I just picked up a Mazda 6 and found that it's prewired for fog lights. All I need is a switch ($30ish on eBay) and the figlights (about $50 for the ones with glass lenses.) Kinda cool how they do that.

    It makes sense, it's easier to wire the car for every option and just have one harness, instead of having a handful of different harnesses.

    I just got a call from the shop, after their estimate, it might be totaled.


    They assured me that I'll be able to pull my audio gear if it is, as long as the stereo is fully functional when I'm done.


    If it's totaled I'll buy another 2009+ 3rd gen with low miles and start over.

    I got home today and have five days off before my next trip. On the way home I was able to pickup the Miata from the shop, it looks great!





    My new horn bodies were waiting for me too!





    I mocked them up, and I'm afraid that horns just might not happen for this car. The driver side fits great, perfect actually! But even with the smaller horn and better throat entry angle, it's just not gonna clear the blower motor.


    So, what do I do now?


    I have the IDQ8's in the doors and a DEH-P800PRS installed. Do I try to find a tweeter that'll play low enough to pair with the IDQ8's? Or do I go with something like an Audiofrog 2.5 and a tweeter? The three way would push the limits of the crossovers in the headunit, but I do have a JL TwK sitting around, as well as a handfull of amps...


    What would you do?

    Dangit! I know how much you wanted those horns there.

    They sure did a beautiful job with the repairs. Can't even tell!
    Are you not entertained?!?!
