This is a clever solution but it only works on a pre 60,000 series car 
without the shelf.  The later models have enough room under the shelf to mount 
the 
speakers behind.  Back in 2000 I saw a car owned by a Canadian with the most 
clever and stealthy audio installation I have ever seen.  He had used PVC pipe 
of appropriate size to form baffles for the speakers and protect them from the 
elements.  He also had some other neat ideas.  One was mounting tweeters in 
the defroster ducts so that the high notes came out the defroster vents.

Another option is to find some Miata seats with the speakers in the 
headrests.

Let the mind wander.
