Ok so i just bought some speakers thinking it will be 6.5 but it turned out to be 3.5. Instead of returning it, I figured i can make it fit the headrest like miatas and rx7. I already took out the headrest and kind of have a thought how to do it. I drew a 3.5 circle right in the middle of the headrest and plan on making the wires come down from 1 of the 2 hollow metal poles. My only worry is that it might be to loud if i put it in the headrest and how to make that section more comfortable since the speakers will right right there.I will add up pics later on tonight.

Don't do it man! It will sound absolutely horrible, thus making it a horrible idea.

Headrest speakers always seemed a bit gimmicky, but in convertibles, if you want to hear music, you either need a potent set of speakers in your door and a nice amp (along with a hefty midbass and sub) or stick some speakers right by your ears so you can at least hear something.

While it could be possible to get some good sound in the very nearfield (listening really close to a speaker), you'd have to audition a lot of them and do a lot of work getting them set up properly.

Long story short, I agree with broadfield; don't do it.
