  1. Input is greatly appreciated. It states on JBL's website that the amp can operate from 8v to 16v.

  6. After purchasing a 2026 CX-90 PHEV GT (Canada) in May, I've been thinking about upgrading the speakers to make the car sound better, but I need some forum advice to make sure I'm not crazy. I typically keep my music volume between 85 and 90 dB, so I don't require a lot of power. Car audio is something I haven't dabbled in since the mid-2000s, so I'm attempting to get back on track with the latest industry standards. Before, I've gutted cars to install car audio systems, but I don't intend to do that to this one. 1. Could I connect the following amplifier to the electrical system to bypass the OEM Bose amplifier? The JBL amp's digital signal processor would fix the factory Bose equaliser before sending the signal to the original speakers via the original wiring. 2. Since Bose amplifiers are known to be finicky about impedances, would the load generator be necessary to keep the Bose amp in good working order? 3. Is it feasible to simply swap the speakers in the Bose system to fix the system if this splice in amp plan is not possible? Because fixing the Bose DSP/EQ would not be possible, this may not be the best course of action. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could share a wiring diagram for the Bose CX-90 with me; I have been unable to find one anywhere. Also, I'll be sure to muffle my voice for the duration of this. I have already completed the rear sub and trunk floor, which has made a slight improvement in that area.

  8. Good day, I intend to retain the Mazda CX 90 GT Turbo MHEV for at least another decade after making the switch from the 2021 Mazda CX 30 Turbo. I simply need some advice on how to keep this car running reliably for so long. TIA
  9. I appreciate the update. My bad for posting while having a glass of Cabernet on the side.

  12. I was worried I had purchased a headache when I purchased a brand new 2024 CX 90 Turbo S Premium Plus and read all the reviews. My experience has been nothing but positive. Perhaps it was a matter of pure luck. At first, the gearbox was a bit clumsy, but after getting two computer updates at the recommended intervals for oil changes, it all went smoothly. Michelin Cross Climate 2s performed much better than the OEM Toyo tires. In Pennsylvania, where winters can be unpredictable, I've found that Michelins provide superior traction and assurance on both dry and wet roads compared to Toyos. There are zero electronic hiccups, squeaks, rattles, shimmies, or vibrations; everything functions as smoothly as the day I purchased it. At the next oil change, I will have the repair done under warranty because I read that dust can get into the back seat due to faulty seals on the rear doors. If I look closely, I can even make out dust on the scuff plate. Although I'm sorry to hear about the CX90 problems experienced by others, I must say that driving the CX90 has been an enjoyable experience for me. Regarding the Tahoe I exchanged it for, I would have to disagree. It has OK power, but it lacks the Mazda's road feel, numb steering, and boxy, swaying ride. Yes, I disabled a few of the CX 90's many features. One of them was facial recognition. Putting on and taking off glasses and a cap made that feature look erratic. About three weeks passed before I became accustomed to using the dial instead of a touch screen. Problems with the shift pattern never arose. Whenever I do it, I don't give it any thought. By the time my vehicle was manufactured in July of 1994, Mazda may have fixed most of the issues.

  14. Also received the same for my 2025 NA I adore and favour them. Compared to the awful Bridgestone OEM tires, these needed some breaking in. It rides much smoother, has better handling, and has better cornering. Looking forward to testing them out in the snow!
  15. On the advice of Discount Tire, I purchased a set of Michelin Defender 2 225/55/R18 tires for my 2024 CX-30 Carbon Edition yesterday. The BridgeStone Turanza EL440 in the size 215/55/R18 was previously mounted on my vehicle. The new tyre size is making me think twice. I was wondering if the 225/55/R18 size of tires would work well on my CX-30.
  16. In late June, I leased a brand new 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Sport AWD. Upon handling it, I detected a rough, sandpaper-like texture on some areas of the exterior paint; however, it was not apparent when exposed to direct sunlight. It was first explained by the vendor as transportation protective film residue. I took it back to the dealer a few weeks later, and their paint expert finally agreed that there are a lot of tiny bubbles, pinholes, and other flaws in the paint and clearcoat. There are dozens of flaws per square inch in some spots, and they're visible in some lights and when you touch them. It seems like the hood, front fenders, bumper/trim, and maybe even both front doors are in the path of the damage. The dealership first stated they would not recommend painting a brand-new car. The current plan from Mazda is to have a certified body shop repaint the entire front end—fenders, hood, bumper, and trim—as part of the warranty repair. The dealer stated that they do not have any control over the matter as Mazda has the final say. My main worry is that this is a completely new, accident-free car that needs a lot of body and paint work done. Since it is a leased vehicle, I am also worried that the repair may lower its value or cause me problems when my lease is up. Does anyone else have experience with major paint defects on a CX-90 from the factory? Did Mazda or the dealer figure out what was causing them? If so, what repair were they able to do, and how long did it last? This is excessive for a brand-new vehicle, even though I adore the vehicle. My first option would have been to return it and get a replacement from Mazda, but they aren't going to do that. If anyone has experienced this problem with a brand new leased CX-90, I would greatly appreciate hearing from them.
  17. Apologies, but I am aware that this topic has been discussed before, in 2025. Curious if anyone has heard anything new? Twenty-four CX90s, 17,000km. brought to a nearby mechanic for evaluation. He claimed that both tires were nearly flat. Got in touch with the dealership and Mazda headquarters via phone calls. Everyone is aware of this issue, and they both think $18,000 is too little. HQ informed me that tires have provisions, but they were unable to provide me with any details. Next week, the dealer will review them and send something to headquarters to be resolved. What I've been reading about "new upgraded Falkens" has me wondering if that's what it will be. Has anyone heard anything unusual? Much obliged.
  18. long shot, but don't use the wheel controls to lower the volume; instead, use the silver roller volume on the center console.It appears to be the master volume, at least to me. that you should give it a go.
  19. The door does not unlock merely by approaching the vehicle. It has consistently necessitated a contact, either via the keyfob or by placing fingers on the interior of either front exterior door handle, without making contact with the outer surface of the handle.
