These JVC units are the perfect replacement for tired headrest speakers. They are a tight fit, and you will need to remove some of the foam from in the headrest, but the improvement in sound quality is really worth it.

Please note: Each set of speakers are enough to do one seat. If you need to replace the speakers in both seats you must order 2 sets.

“Should be informed that they do not fit. IÆve bought them specifically to have peace of mind during fitting. My car came with MSSS; headrest with ôround Pioneersö, they are I think, half an inch smaller. That said, they are also 4ohms. My bad here, as my stereo is 4x55 at 4ohms. IÆll need to increase the impedance to be able to run them in parallel. Service excellent as always.”

“Great but CAUTION! These are 4Ohm speakers. The OEM ones are 8Ohm. This is because the head unit in a car is typically 4Ohm and 2 speakers per ch in parallel means the speaker impedance IS HALVED. Therefore these speakers present only 2Ohms to the head unit. 1) Make sure your head unit can accept a low 2Ohm impedance 2) If not you may wish to wire the 4 headrest speakers in series Or 3) You could possibly add a suitable high power resistor in series to beach headrest channel. I think mx5parts should add this to their product description. If you donÆt do the above you could damage your head unit.”

“They don't fit. Suspect the manufacturer has changed spec and nobody has checked since. You will need to cut off the mounting tabs and take a large hammer to the metal brace in the seat headrest. Having done that, the speakers are too deep to fit comfortably in the space. This is a right bodge, and if you have a nice car don't do it.”

“With the roof back and driving very fast I can still hear my music rather than the distorted crackling from the 25 year old originals. Fitting was fine if you take your time and dont hurry (you don't need to remove as much foam as suggested and my original speaker wires were held in the back by a glued rubber grommet which needed gentle, but firm, use of pliers to remove).”

“The first upgrade to my newly purchased Roadster which had the original factory fitted speakers and a very distorted sound. These vibrate your internal organs. OK so you have to cut the headrest foam to make them fit, but boy is it worth it. Lid down, volume up = heaven!”

“Bought these to replace original drivers headrest speakers which no longer worked. When I got them I thought no way will these fit, but they do. Just follow the instructions which come with them and they fit a treat and sound great.”

“These speakers are very easy to fit and offer great sound compared to the oem items. Well worth the money I say from one very satisfied customer.”

“If you do nothing else to your car,fit these.I did follow the instructions, and as previously said, if you use the template you remove more foam than you need to. Fitted into my leather seats in no time at all. Fiddliest bit was removing the grommet in the excisting housing to allow the wires to be removed without cutting.”
