Location of factory Bose Subwoofer?

[MZDASPED]

I apologize if this has already been answered but I honestly tried searching all the forums. I'm just curious as to where the factory Bose subwoofer is located. Thanks!

Don't mean to hijack...

Has anyone replaced this sub with something better that fits in the same spot?

Bose is balls.. H/K is better

That would be pretty tough considering the space restriction, JL has just come out with a new thin subwoofer line the W5!! check it out on their site www.jlaudio.com it might be costly!

Not just the MS3. I believe all the higher-end 3's do.

from jeff's post

2008.5 Mazda3 Sport GT
For 2008.5 the Mazda3 Sport GT will receive standard xenon headlamps. Once again, we do not expect any pricing changes due to this addition. The GT Luxury Package which currently includes leather seating, in-dash 6 CD Changer and automatic climate control also receives power driver’s seat, Bose audio with an additional speaker and Sirius satellite radio for a package price of $1,895.


2008.5 Mazda3 GT
Similar to the Mazda3 Sport GT, the GT sedan also receives xenon headlamps with no expected price increase. The sedan’s GT Luxury Package (leather seating, in-dash 6 CD Changer and automatic climate control) adds equipment such as power driver’s seat, Bose audio with an additional speaker and Sirius satellite radio at a $400 price increase totaling an MSRP of $1,895.

Wasn't expecting much from this thread but now I'm interested. Anyone tried this on a 3 yet? I'm no engineer, but I understood all the pics by yellowmp5 (great thread BTW!) but I don't know if they match up to the 3's setup...can anyone comment on this?

And how hard is it for someone to make this a "kit"?

How to: get more bass from factory Bose subwoofer

again, it's for the 6..but it's a intersting reading.....many positive feedbacks!

in the speed the sub is under the seat and looks like a black box. To get to it I would probably have to take the passenger seat off...in the mazda 6 speed it actually looks like a regular sub from the pics....no?

Also for the 2008.5 it just says additional speakers...not sub woofer...so there I cant really say.. I personally think it's more than loud enough 'as is' in my speed. I use my trunk space a lot and would not afford to lose that space for a sub box...
