#2 of 41 96 Miata - door speaker vibration by ferndock

Oct 22, 2007 (10:02 pm)

lower door speaker (driver's side) makes annoying vibrating noise at medium or higher volume, esp. with moderate or heavy bass. Is there a fix, other than replacing it? Assuming I have to replace it, can I buy just one speaker, or do I have to buy an entire set? If so, where? Instructions on replacing the speaker; I presume I have to remove the inside door panel. Any help here? Thanks.

I have a 93, the door panels are different.
 
You may want to try a rubber spacer to absorb vibration, that may quite the buzz.

#4 of 41 2006 GT CD Player Question by sammynorth

Oct 23, 2007 (7:43 pm)

I just bought a used 2006 Miata with the Bose sound system. The radio/cd player has a button on it to 'load' CD's, but it doesn't seem to do anything. When I check out the manual, it appears that the 6 CD in-dash changer is an option.
 
My question is this: Does the non-changer model have a 'load' button on it, but without the functionality?
 
Also, there's a button on the top row right, labelled "media". Can someone tell me what this is?
 
Thanks in advance.
Sam.

Just a guess - could that be for the aux input?

If you have the Bose stereo - turn the bass down to +1 or 0. Then you should be able to crank to volumes up to 25...

I have an '06 GT with the Bose stereo. It does have a single CD player. You should be able to feed the CD in then "unload" to remove using the button on the opposite side (right side of the slot) of the "load" button (which is unecessary really).

The only thing I don't like about my 06 Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring is the inside door panel. The water bottle holder is a nuisance on an otherwise perfect car. Is anyone aware of an aftermarket replacemnet which eliminates these useless things?

I'm in the process of purchasing an 08 and I've read lots of negative comments about the door cupholders. Do they really protrude enough into the cockpit to be a nuisance? They must be good for something... can you throw a pair of sunglasses in there? Sorry, I haven't heard anything about an aftermarket door panel.

I'm only 5' 8" and the cup holders in the doors don't seem to be a problem for me or my wife and she is 5' 10" , I think they work great for water bottles or sunglasses, my to go coffee mug actually works in there also, I don't use the cup holders in the console that much because thats were I rest my arm even though I have the AT. I use those to hold my cell phone and little stuff and I usually keep it covered..
