They are a dashboard speaker. I think a 3" round. You basically
kind of "Stuff" them into the headrest speaker location. Not really
an elegant installation, but once you zip up the headrest, you can't 
tell the difference.

 No existing harness. On my other Mazda's, they always had extra wires
and plugs. Not for the headrest speakers on the '92 Miata. I guess that
anybody could buy any speaker to stuff in, but they would still need
the specific plug to connect them in to the stock radio. Probably could
get the plug either from Mazda or Crutchfield. Anyway, M & M had them
on sale at Christmas for $99 (down from $169), and my wife bought
them as a present.
