Just completed my DIY install on my 2025 Mazda CX-50 with Bose. Setup is very similar. If anyone has any questions, I am glad to share.

I’m going to get a cx50. Did you unplug the stock woofer? Did you install a crossover? Do the rest of the speakers sound the same just more bass?

I did not unplug the stock subwoofer. I tapped signal from the outputs of the Bose amplifier located under the front passenger seat. I didn’t want to cut factory wires so I bought a 8 pin Bose connector cable (male to female) and spliced into those cables with Posi-Taps. By tapping from the front speakers outputs, you get full range signal. Connected signal to line out converter (Wavtech LinkDQ). The aftermarket amplifier I bought (Stinger MT1500.1) has a crossover built in. Factory speakers still sound great. Now I have the option for bass I can feel and the neighbors can hear if desired.

Sweet! Thank you!
