Is it possible to install the Bose system in an 08 Touring?
 
As I understand it, only the am and speakers are "Bose"- not the head unit. Have you listened to the Bose system? I ask because I have the Bose system in my 07 3 and the sound is good but certainly not great. I would call Crutchfield and look into upgrading the amp and speakers while leaving the head unit alone.

Just barely got a taste of the bose, it is definitely better than the stock equipment. I think I'm going to do just that. Especially since the doors already have cut outs for a component set up.
 
Thanks for the info from what else I've been reading, its way too expensive and not worth the payout for the Bose setup.
 
Cheers!

Anybody know what kind of wattage the factory 6CD head unit pushes out to the 6 speaker setup (non-bose)?

My understanding is that it is a difficult upgrade, not worth it at all, as the audio system has to be rewired (amp., sub, dif't head unit, speakers, dif't harnesses, etc.). You might just be better off going aftermarket, at least upgrading the speakers, it'll definitely be cheaper and easier.

Mazda Speed3 GT sound system defect by pcampos

If you bought or are in the process of buying a Mazda Speed3 GT 2008 1/2, or 2008-R as it's also known, the sound system head unit needs to be replaced. When they tweaked the car for the 1/2 model year they put a new head unit in it and it doesn't work properly. This requires going into the dealer so they can take the info regarding your unit and order the appropriate new one. The new ones are taking anywhere from a day to a week to get to the dealers. Cars already on order will probably end up arriving a week or two later as they make the fix at the factory or when it's off-loaded after shipping.
