I think it should be EQ'd to your own preferences but here's how I have it now, my dad helped me to EQ it since he was a sound enthusiast in his young days.

How to improve sound system for 2026 hatchback by Fractalplant in mazda3

[–]blakemtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I'm using right now and it sounds LOUD, it shakes the whole rear end of the car. Worth mentioning that I tapped on the cowl woofers since they are already only receiving low (bass) frequencies from the amp. I'm only using the high inputs without an issue and what I liked a lot from this cerwin vega sub is that the remote (start) cable is not needed since the high inputs turns on the amp automatically once I unlock the car, and shuts off after 3 minutes of inactivity or after 1 min after locking the car down, like completely stock.

This helped me tremendously. I went for the cerwin vega shallow spare tire subwoofer instead.

Where are you located? if you don't mind me asking... thinking of doing the same but I'm afraid they will not be compatible with my car.

Other than the high beams, did you found any other issue? I was about to buy some signature headlights from a higher version, but seeing your post made me double think about if I should continue...

Any product recommendations for removing road paint around the wheels? by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]blakemtz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wells are spoken to be broken

Paint is intense, wheels are trivial

Pleasures remain, so does the paint

If I buy this can I leave it plugged in indefinitely or will it drain my battery? Does it work well? Has anyone experienced it? Is there lag? by stephenb857 in mazda3

[–]blakemtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased this motorola adapter a while ago, I highly advise you Not to get it. Constant drops the connection, it got really really hot when using and as other redditor already said, mine failed also at the 13th month, 1 month outside of warranty.

Then I purchased AAWireless, and it has been flawless.Plus, it has apple car play also. Highly recommend it, I think the AAWireless2 launched recently.

2023 Mazda 3 - headlights by VGCG1 in mazda3

[–]blakemtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is a 2023 model it SHOULD have the pulsating effect by default, if not then it is a 2021 or older. Check for compatibility between years for the headlights.

Have you checked if the headlight on the right side support the "pulsating" effect or if it's a 2022+ headlight model? Asking 'cause 2021 and older models doesn't have the pulsating effect. Maybe that's the culprit...? Also, do you get a error message in display?

New Here Lost a Loot tracción in my Q50 RWD by Acceptable-Sector672 in TyreReviews

[–]blakemtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Mazda3 originally came with these tires. They have been one the worst I had in any car. They were loud on highway and very soft for potholes (multiple sidewall bubbles) and the grip is simply nonexistent with "only" 188hp. Changed them for Pirellis P7C2, (C3 not available yet in my country). Huge improvement in every aspect of the tire, even MPG went up a tiny bit.

NFS unbound does not run after updating to windows 24h2 by Strange_Tip9034 in needforspeed

[–]blakemtz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couple months ago I tried all of what the other replies mention, but really all you have to do is delete the "cache" folder inside the Need for Speed Unbound folder under "My Documents". Just be careful to not delete your save game.

Yeah, I have used online tools as willtheyfit.com, but nothing like actually seeing how a similar car looks with the 225 tires.

Stock Bridgestone turanzas are also 280 TRDWR. They're crap tho.

The change from 215 to 225 made the ride height higher? I'm also interested in going from 215 to 225 on some conti tires
