MIÇI've never really like the headrest speaker idea (Fiero did it too, years
  Çago).  The very concept f***s with the notion of "accurate" audio 
lacement
  Çand imaging.
Matt,
  I concur.  The only thing it does for you is to give you the mid-high 
sound (usually distorted) when travelling top down at highway speeds 
(here 75mph +).
MIÇI'd probably start by replacing the door speakers with some good ...
                   (snip)
MIÇlook at the door locations to see if shallow 6.5s couldn't be 
   massaged in there somehow; the extended bass response would 
   make a significant difference for those summer highway cruises :)
  The majority of 6.5" speakers will fit into the available 5" cutout 
without a problem!
  Appreciate the feedback!  Glad to hear you too appreciate vintage 
home audio gear.  I've been real lucky.  For example that Nakamichi 
Dragon cassette deck climbed to near $3k retail before being 
discontinued.  Got mine for $500 from a poor marine who not only 
overspent overseas (he paid the military exchange price of $1500 at the 
time) but returned stateside to find his wife had quit her job to boot. 
All I needed to do was invest $50 to correct the automatic azmiuth 
(SIC) adjustment which was a factory problem on the first two 
production batches  (the correction motor could overdrive and hang up 
at either maximum travel range).  It's performed flawlessly ever since 
and that's well over a decade. 
  Take care!
