    Default 2008.5 mazda 3 with bose system

    Has anyone seen the upgraded bose front door speakers? It appears to be 6.5" speaker mounted into a 6x8" grill but I have no idea how to get the old speaker out to put a new one on. Has anyone seen a post on this or know if it's possible to get it out?
    I will post pics when I figure out how to.

    You have to remove the door panel.

    Yes. I had the door panel off. Took the speaker out and it looks like the speaker and speaker mount (6x8" to 6.5") is all one piece and I'm wondering how others have modded it.

    Sorry, I get it now. I was expecting to see factory 6x8" speakers to fit in the factory 6x8" hole. Not sure why they made such a large opening for small speakers. I plan to order the brackets from crutchfield. Please close this thread to my shame.
