Was out at the local Pick'n Pull yesterday with buddy Jeff, looking for Nissan body parts (ours picked up a very severe bruise on its nose last week; fortunately single vehicle and human bruising but no injuries and the air bags didn't fire) and found a 1990 Mazda Miata with the (worn) seats still in place, but the speakers in the headrests long gone.
We pulled the seats and I'm thinking about installing them in our dune buggy (plus replacing the speakers and re-covering) so that the radio could be heard whilst driving. We also have a Bugeye to put together this winter so that's a possibility, but probably not (aesthetics; not enough room to really use the recline features, etc). And now, the question:
This winter's Sprite will get a rollbar (protection against side impact, primarily) and some sort of pad behind the occupants' heads to protect against rear end collisions. The Miata seats have a quite solid section in the headrest where the back of your skull would be impacted, and just full depth foam rubber on the sides where the speakers are.
Can anyone advise as to finding headrests that would contain speakers (and were actually engineered for automobile accidents vs. something I tried to dream up), such that I could modify and mount that protection and comfort in the BE?
I disappeared into the Wikipedia Wormhole, and when I found this ( https://www.recaro-kids.com/monza-nova-2.html ) in response to my search function, figured I'd see if anyone in the community has already gone looking. Thanks, Doug
