Small sound system!
I'm new to the forums so I would like to say hi to everyone. My name is Todd and I've always wanted a Miata for some reason. I've been into building sound systems since I was about 15 and I've haven't had a decent one in over a year :(. I decided to take the challenge to install something in my miata(I just got a week ago) because there's isn't much space and I didn't want to take up the whole trunk. So here it is:

It's a little bit on the snooze side of things. More energy! If you sound tired, you're making me tired lol. But I don't expect you to be jumping up and down "HEY YOUTUBE TODD HERE LOLOLOLOLOL"
Editing & lighting could be better.
Tripod to counter hand held video.
Though, I like the idea and it seems you do have some talent when looking at your previous speaker box builds on your channel.
Will the final box be fiberglass?

When it comes to speakers as a lot of things you can really tell a huge difference if you spend the extra little bit of money. Also if you take care of it it will sound a hell of a lot better longer!

Focal has a low model component that I would trust over anything else in its price range as far as quality of the speaker and performance. If you don't ever plan on adding rear speakers or a subwoofer I would go with something like this from a quality name brand company. :

I'd probable do nothing more than the components, but would like to maximize what I get and willing to amp it.

Do you still have a bose setup in your car OP?
Should be your next video, how to de-bose a miata. Include recommended single din replacement, wire shielding, sub install you're working on, speaker/tweeter amp etc etc. Make it a semi cheap but QUALITY install. And as a bonus, to appeal to those who track and DD thier miata... Include total weight removed with total weight of new system.
You'll get all the miata stance bros, +1 fappin to your audio install vids.

replicate them with like 1/2" MDF, and sell them like hot cakes on ebay.
I bought this one from a local doing just that for $50:
problem was it required a shallow sub and was probably only 0.5 cuft.

Do you have to seal the back end from the elements somehow? Or do you create an air tight enclosure for speakers in doors. Finally, is shielded wire a thing, if so, where would you ground the shield.

Your colorscheme is nearly identical to my brothers miata - minus the crap body kit. But hey, $800 automatic miata with a bad transmission is $800 (and we had a 5 speed laying around). I think his paint is Krylon Fusion blue.

should of listened to mine when you had the chance. I used a 3-channel amp and was pretty damn happy with it, I could listen to music top down and here it just fine at 70-80mph.
