Mazda 929 Speaker FAQ

Which speakers should I upgrade first in my Mazda 929?

Replace the front door panel speakers first. The 6 x 8 inch front door speakers handle most vocals and midrange frequencies you'll actually notice while driving. Rear deck speakers can wait - they're mainly for fill. Dashboard speakers are tiny 4 inch units that won't make much difference even with upgrades. Focus your budget on quality front components around 50-75 watts RMS. The Mazda 929's front door location gives you the best stereo imaging.

Can I install component speakers in my Mazda 929 rear doors?

The rear door panels support component speakers on certain configurations. You'll need separate tweeters and woofers instead of coaxial units. Mount tweeters high on the door panel or sail panels. Run crossover networks under the seats - they handle frequency splitting around 3000-4000 Hz typically. Component setups give better sound staging but require more installation work. Check your Mazda 929's rear door depth first. Some aftermarket 5.25 inch components might not fit properly.

What's the difference between coaxial and triaxial speakers for my Mazda 929?

Triaxial speakers add a small super tweeter on top of the regular tweeter and woofer. The rear deck configuration supports triaxial designs. Extra tweeter supposedly handles frequencies above 10kHz but... honestly the improvement is minimal. Coaxial speakers with good 1 inch tweeters usually sound better than cheap triaxials. Focus on power handling around 40-60 watts and decent frequency response. The Mazda 929's rear deck placement means you won't hear subtle high-frequency differences anyway.

Why does my Mazda 929 have different rear speaker sizes between model configurations?

Manufacturing changes. The 6 x 8 inch rear deck speakers provide more cone area than 6 x 9 oddly enough - about 33 square inches versus 42. But 6 x 9 speakers typically have better bass extension below 80 Hz. Both sizes work fine for replacement. Measure your actual opening before ordering. Some Mazda 929 installations have modified brackets that might affect fitment. The mounting depth varies too - usually around 3 inches for rear deck locations.

Should I keep the dashboard speakers in my Mazda 929?

Keep them connected but don't spend money upgrading. Those 4 inch dashboard speakers handle frequencies above 200 Hz mostly. They fill in some midrange but won't produce real bass. Running them helps with stereo width slightly. If one fails, cheapest replacement works fine - maybe 20-30 watts maximum. Your Mazda 929's main sound comes from door speakers anyway. Dashboard location creates weird reflections off the windshield that muddy the sound stage.
