The bad / weird thing about the Miata's Bose speakers is their impedance, in my case they were .5 ohms and no one other than Clearwater (Clearwater Audio Home Page) made a replacement. I bit the bullet and got hosed buying them but they sound pretty good. Make sure to check the OEM speaker's impedance before buying something that is just the same physical size, if they're not close you will be disappointed in the sound.
Thanks. I think the Bose speakers are 2ohm impedance.
