Watch a full tutorial as a 2016 Mazda 6 will have a brand new Skar Audio SK65C Component speakers installed. We will be using Metra speaker brackets and wiring harness adapters to bolt these up to the factory spots in the door as well as the tweeter location.
This video applies to Mazda 6 models for years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. This video also includes door panel and speaker removal, wiring, installation, and testing.

Would have liked to have seen how you ran the new wire up into the dash.
hopefully you see this but i have a 19' mazda 6 i want to know if the process is the same for the 5 channel amplifier is the same since i have a touch screen or do i have to get something different to make this work
Glad I saw this cause I wondered how the adapters worked. Thanks!
Is there a trick to getting the white clips out of the door?
I've done a door speaker install in a 2003 mazda 3 and to get the new speakers to fit i just cut the stock ones apart and reused the oem spacer/bracketry. That car didn't have tweeters and I had to solder wires to connect to the stock harness clips. How many people have a clue what this crossover business is all about? I do not. On a 2014 mazda6 with the bose system can't I just swap in new speakers?
Great where did you buy the speakers? And do you know how is best for me to connect my phone via USB not Bluetooth? It's greayed out cheers
I just bought the nvx set for front and rear. I'm installing a 4 channel 75w rms per channel amp too. Do I need to run thicker wires to the door speakers?
Hi, Bro. Do i need instal crossower for front tweeters? Or i just connect them to stock cable without crossower? (maybe crossower already instaled somewhere for front stock tweeters? Thanks!
You shouldn't have to replace speakers in a car that is only a few years old. What a joke, for the amount of money you pay purchasing a new automobile. Shame on Mazda!!!
Very useful!
Hey! Great Video, really appreciate all of the information!
Can you use the factory tweeter wiring for the new tweeters and skip the crossover that came with the new speakers?
Hi, there's space in the rear deck for 3.5" any recommendations to do the install?
Hi do you need the aftermarket speaker mounting bracket? Why can't you just remove the factory speakers from their mounts and adhere the new ones into those? Just asking because I want to do this on my Mazda 6 2015, but am confused about the need for new brackets if you're installing the same size speakers as factory (6.5" if I'm correct).
This helped a hell of a lot. I was thinking about going to a shop to do this but now I can do it myself. I do have a problem though with my stock radio. It seems I have to really crank up the volume to hear it normally (to 30 plus) is that normal for these cars and should I get an amp or is there something I can do with the stock radio I don’t know about??
