Those are much better! My newer 1.8 is much harder to do because you have to take the entire door apart to get to the speakers. Also on a side note, your factory speakers had a clear plastic housing around the back of them. This is a "rain guard" to keep water from running down the inside of the door and damaging the speakers. You can try to retro fit them on the new speakers, or some people get creative by cutting up round tupperware bowls to attach to the back of the speakers. Just something to think about. Also, those new speakers are 300Watts "PEAK", but they are only 50Watts RMS. The RMS is more important to look at because this is the normal load for them. Your head unit may only put out about 18Watts RMS. Wire up a small amp that puts out about 50Watts RMS, and you should be able to hear the new speakers good with the top down. Hope this is helpful.
Because Miata thank you for the tips and luckily I put the rain guard on the new speakers haha I thought they were to improve sound or something. I plan on getting a better radio which I'm pretty sure has a small built in amp but I'll have to check. thanks
Lol that factory speaker was priceless... It was just flapping paper around...😆 I’m glad you got the positive and negative hooked up right. It does make a difference because it changes how the speaker pushes and pulls... Great factory replacement speakers btw...
That's a good looking Miata. I love them because they're easy to work on, reasonably cheap, they handle great and are all around fun to drive. Unfortunately for me, I hardly ever get to drive mine. The wife always has it. I watched your old video about the accident, that was pretty brutal.
Richard Delvecchio it's really hard to say because most off the headrest speakers were mis-wired into the radio so your best bet is to trace the electrical cables to find where they connect and then try to figure out how to make them work or talk to someone who's good at electrics
