Understanding Speaker Quality: An Old MTX Blue Thunder Woofer

I purchased a pair of MTX 6.5-inch woofers around 1992 or 1993, and they were installed in my 1991 Mazda 323 hatchback as midbass and rear-fill drivers. Later, they migrated to a set of “home speakers” with an Audax tweeter, though I don’t think I spent much time listening to them after I finished building them. Unfortunately, those speaker enclosures were thrown out after they Read more

2023 Mazda CX-50. A Little Bit Bigger…

For the last decade or so, the CX-5 has been the Mazda medium-sized crossover. Now the company has updated that design and made it bigger, naming it the CX-50. For the 2023 model year, Mazda will sell both vehicles side by side at the dealership. So the question will be, do you want the new model, or to save some money with the eventually phased-out CX-5? Size Matters? Or Read more

2022 Mazda CX-30. Small Yet Mighty.

Another CUV? Let’s face it, the market for small SUVs is on fire right now. For some shoppers, the entry-level SUVs became the same price as midsize SUVs.

Luckily, the entry-level CUVs are coming loaded with the latest in vehicle technology, just like their larger counterparts.The CX-30 is the latest from Mazda. Read more

2022 VW Taos. A CUV Competitor with a Dash of Sporty.

No doubt about it, the small CUV, or compact utility vehicle, has replaced the compact car on American roads as the entry-level vehicle of choice. VW has the Tiguan model, but they wanted to engineer something that came in smaller at a slightly better price point. The 2022 VW Taos does not disappoint. You’d be hard-pressed to see the exterior differences, but you can get a cute Read more

2021 Mazda CX-5 Signature. Don’t Overlook the Zoom-Zoom.

We all know the CUVs are here to stay. When thinking of the class, a lot of buyers gravitate to the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV-4. But Mazda also wants to make a case for itself with a well-engineered CUV that should remain reliable but with a dose of sportiness injected into it.Enter the CX-5 Signature edition. The CX-5 starts at $26K and goes all the way to $37K all-in … a Read more

2020 Buick Encore GX. Longer Encore!

The original Buick Encore, Buick’s entry-level CUV that shares its underpinnings with the Chevy Trax, has proven very successful. They are two popular CUV choices, but Buick wanted something a little bigger to compete with lower-priced CUV imports such as the Mazda CX-5. So they invented the Encore GX, which is a totally different vehicle than the original Encore. It rides on Read more
