Hello,

I have 4 speakers, a sub, amp, wiring and line out converter that needs to be installed in my 2012 mazda 3. Where is a recommended place to get this installed that is decent priced and has at least a decent reputation. I am just replacing the speakers (front two to be powered by four channel amp and 10" sub to be powered by the four channel amp too)

I am in Mississauga so preferably somewhere close

The speakers I have are Kicker CS68 for the front and rear. Those will fit 2012 mazda 3 I was told when I bought them.

Can someone help me confirm this? Or will I need some adapter

You could just find out what size the stock speakers are and that will answer your question for the most part. Google is your best friend.

They have to be the same size as the OEM speakers?

Only if you don't want to buy/fabricate adaptor rings.

I'm not certain if they changed it in the 2012 models but the speaker size are 6x8s or 6.5 with the mounting bracket.

These speakers I have are 6x8 so I'm assuming they are going to be direct fit nothing needed?

Yep if they are 6x8 or 5x7s they will directly fit. I've never had to use any bracket to fit mine in. Only thing you will have to do is cut the wires, strip them and wire them to the new connectors and done. That is if your doing it yourself.
