Doitor falls off the wagon....again. Mazda 6 Grand Touring daily SQ system.

[doitor]

Hi guys.
After a long hiatus driving a car with a stock sound system, its time to get back in the game.
Had a chance to go to Finals in Kentucky last year and the SQ bug bit again.
This time around, the goal is to build a simple system to improve on the Bose system and Ill try to keep it all hidden and as OEM looking as possible.
The victim this time around is a Mazda 6 Grand Touring Plus.



Equipment will be:

HU: Keenwod Excelon DDX9905s with the dash cam. (drv-n520)
Amp/Processor: Zapco ADSP-Z8 IV. Under the drivers sear. The controller will be hidden in the sunglass thingie on the headliner.
Front Speakers: HAT Unity U3 in the corners of the dash (80 watts) and U6x9 2 ohms in the doors (120 watts).
Sub: HAT Clarus 12 in an IB wall. (480 watts)
Sound deadener: The car is pretty quiet compared to my previous daily, so I wont go crazy on this. Will do a basic job on the doors and trunk.



This will be a slooooow build, since I dont have a lot of free time.

Welcome back to the dark side

Nice to see you around again Jorge. I've also loved a system that sounded really good but looked like nothing ever happened for the most part in the way of car audio. I bet this one checks all those boxes. Would love to chat with you again if we both make it to College Station this year.

Started with the sound deadener on the doors.







Also added some to the trunk area.

I've always been curious about the shallow Unity 6x9 since the 6x9 door pods in my Ram doors make most GOOD 6x9's unusable. Words can't describe how upset I was when I discovered my Audiofrog gs690's that did so well in my Grand Cherokee wouldn't work in my doors because the overly bulbous basket was hitting a window track support 2" inside the "pod". Look forward to getting my ears on yours.
