use that, and figure out what stuff fits your car, and then buy it on amazon.


audio stuff is dirt cheap these days, compared to 10 years ago.

watch youtube videos, this is all stuff you can do yourself

I would start by buying a real car so you dont have to upgrade your audio system


What year/model you have?


Mazda 3 GX 2018

I can't afford a real car and won't be able to for a long time so might as well do what I can with it now.

I used and bought from crutchfield and did all myself with little to no experience. Changed the whole console front since I wanted a double din + changed all the speakers. Just checked some youtube videos, once I was in my car with the console open I was asking myself what the fuck I was doing and regret everything, but did it all and put it back in and all works fine :P

can save big time doing it yourself, but if you don't mind spending extra then just get it done but it's not rocket science

Anyone know about car audio?

Recommendations on a starter system? Just looking to upgrade my stock one but I'm driving a Mazda 3 so it's not like I'm trying to impress anyone or bring down the neighborhood.

Also what am I looking at for installation costs?

Warning: I know only a little about audio and nothing about cars.


better to have a budget than just ask how much

it's like building a computer, there are multiple parts and variations as to how it's put together. Generally based on budget and what fits into your car without custom work.

what head unit do you have? the one that sticks out of the top of the dash? if so I would say it's likely a custom head unit upgrade

speakers are easier, however you may need to modify the baskets or brackets they mount in as aftermarket speakers are typically bigger

there is no easy 1 size fits all 'starter system' but with a little effort you can get set up


if you hand your car to an installation shop be prepared to pay more in labour than what you pay for parts, audio is cheap now but labour isn't

so this is happening at Queen's Park in Toronto right now, each member of Opposition party is being kicked out one by one by the speaker for delaying a bill to shrink Toronto's city council

Canadian politicians have a ridiculous amount of power. If we’re ever retarded enough to get a Trump type, we’re boned.
