It doesn't have to be much of an investment (though $100 would be a tight
budget).

I have two of these:

and two of these:

Powered by one of these ($99 on eBay and it even fit in the trunk tunnel):

Total cost was ~$200 (plus mdf, and various bits of wire) and a weekend of
time.

The results are phenomenal.

Not all Miata's have 8" door openings, but you can get good results even
with 6.5" coaxial speakers if properly amplified.
