     >> Hello,
     >> I've been reading following this list for a couple of months now.
     >> I recently  bought a '94 red C package.  Its great!!  The commute
     >> to work is much more enjoyable.

     >> I have a question about the stereo.  My car has the Mazda Sensory
     >> Sound System.  It is made by Pioneer.  It has the headrest
     >> speakers, door speakers, door tweeters, and in-the-seat bass
     >> tranducers. How loud can I play these speakers without blowing
     >> them?

     I too have the MSSS in my 93 C-Type (The only tan and white in TX so
     far...:-).  The first thing I did after the purchase was to take it to
     my local stereo shop.  They have done a lot of work for my friends and
     I and I trust them.  They took a comprehensive look at the stereo in
     my Miata and recommended that I do NOTHING to it.  The speakers are of
     good enough quality to handle the amperage that it is wired with so
     that extra loud volume over an extended period of time will not hurt
     them.  I have mine up *nearly* all the way every time I head to the
     beach.  Adding a bigger amp. could do some damage.

     I would suggest that before more amperage, you look to a speaker
     upgrade.  The stock MSSS speakers are *MUCH* better than than the ones
     that come with the regular stereo, but I think you'd be surprised what
     a new set of clearwater door and headrest speakers can do with the
     MSSS.  I speak from experience ;-)
