Hi Stan,
Thanks for the info. It sounds like you will have as good a system as the
design of the car will allow. I don't have an amp, just two speakers in
plastic cases (like the truck ones that were mentioned last week) located on
the floor behind the seats, plus of course the MX5 seat ones. The TR5
doesn't have kidney panels but I have considered fitting TR6 ones. Dismissed
it for now as other work takes priority, such as poly rebushing - I've just
finished that job and in doing it discovered that the big bolt going through
the offside trunnion was sheared. Only the lower wishbone spring pan was
holding the lower wishbones together!

FWIW I used Poneer TS-A878 3.5 inch round speakers in the headrests.
These are rated 60W, 2-way and they are 3.5 inch. They are not a direct
drop in replacement but there is room for them after you remove the old
oblong units and trim the foam a little. They were $48.00 a pair when I
bought them a year ago.
I wired them in parallel into the rear output of my amp so I have left
to right and front to back balance control.
I used Audiobahn AN5000's in the kidney panels, $109 a pair.
I'm considering a small sub for behind the seats...
