If you're after some cheap buckets like me you can consider Justjap seats I know some guys on here have got them in their 5's...they're ADR approved as well so despite being cheap knockoffs, they're safe knockoffs

I'm eyeing off the Bride copies as I'm too poor for the real thing haha

Hey! I've got an import roadster and the speakers are in the headrests. they are 50mm x 90mm (about the same size as a business card) and each one has its own little plastic \"speaker box\" which is screwed into a cutout in the foam. Gotta say that you shouldn't expect too much in the way of quality from these speakers (no bass) but its hany when you've got the top down to get that extra bit of volume [/img]

In some MX-5 markets mazda installed a higher end sound system. It was called the Mazda Sensory Sound System. Built into the seats were something akin to woofers, which could be controlled from the headunit. I always poo pooed the concept until I drove one of John Hewitt's Miatas in Washington state last year. This particular car had this system installed and I was surprised for the clarity and depth of sound from a factory system.

yeah i have the headrest speakers.. ive upgraded mine to 4\" as most poeple do.. i just found it facinating that my cousins import had these speakers in the base of the seat.. i noticed on the original head unit he has on ebay that there is an actual control for the seat speakers

you can see in the pic.. either choose headrest or base of seat sound

Haha thanks Andy.. PM sent to kula

Heres a pic I took thismorning. Standard headrest speakers from '89 enuos raodster. I'd be interested to see any pics of a 4inch upgrade if anyone has one.

if you click the pic in my sig you can see the mod i did with 4\" fusion speakers..

i want someone to post a pic of the seats in the base of the import seats!..

The things that go in the seat base aren't regular looking speakers. They are about 110mm in diameter and about 20mm deep. All they do is vibrate the seat with the bass and trick your body into thinking there is more bass. Unlike a subwoofer they dont actually make any noise. Jaycar used to sell them and they were called bass shakers or something. I'm not sure if they are still around, it's very old technology that didn't really catch on.

arr thats clever! thanks for that garry

Ajay

Yeah alpine make \"Bass Shakers\", exactly as Gary said, I think they were more than a fad

unless you want seats that vibrate?

nah the sub does that enough lol.. i actually thought they were proper speakers!.. dont really want them now lol
thanks for your help guys
