Rice rice rice rice :p

Kidding mostly, but why did you go ported when you don't have a separation b/w trunk and cabin?

Speed3? Giggity.

i had a sealed box, but i just wasn't getting the bass response i was looking for...not to mention i was hammering my amp trying to push the sub...i switched to ported and the gain on my amp had to come WAY down, and i had much more bass! win win IMO...

the picture is of a speed3, i bought just a mazda3 Grand Touring, same body style with out the turbo rice rocket... it was the only pic i could find on a black hatchback with the EDR9's.

updated with pics

I see the pics, very nice! Next up, depo headlights, tinted windows, and powder coated calipers!....:D

Welcome to the new car club! I'm not a Huge Mazda or hatchback guy, but they are definitely nice cars. Congrats!

lol, thanks!

tint was done today 35% all around, eibach pro kit is the next thing to get installed!...im not sure what to do to the calipers...im thinking leaving them silver... red is out (no other red on the car, except for tail lights), black may not look very good... thoughts?
