Andy,
I know this a while ago know, but can you give me a few more details?
Did you eventually put holes in the headrest? Did it change the sound? How did you put the holes in the material?
Were the speakers glued in place or just held in position by the surrounding rubber sponge?
Did you have to cut the stitching on the cover to remove it off the headrest.
How did you manage to run the wire down the seat. Did you have to make a small hole in the seat?
How does your two speaker installation compare to a single speaker?
So many questions. I'm sorry. If I'm going to hack up my headrests I want as much information as possible first. |

No worries ask as many questions as you need 
I haven't punched the holes in the covers no. Simple reason being someone pinched the tool I was going to use before I had chance to 
The speakers are not glued at all. I made sure the hole was actually smaller so that the sponge holds the speakers tightly. There is also a lip of sponge covering the speaker rims. To add to that there is some thin sticky back black foam covering the whole of the front of the headrest. All these measures means that the speakers aren't going anywhere. When cutting the holes you just need to make sure you do them high enough to avoid the metal that forms the mounting posts. I just missed it when doing mine so would suggest anyone else doing it to mount them slightly higher up to be on the safe side.
The headrest covers have plastic clips holding them together so you simply undo them. This all becomes clear when you remove the headrest.
The wires don't run through the seat at the moment but yes it would involve putting a small hole under where the headrest goes and then at the bottom to get the wire out again. I will test all this out on my spare seats before commiting to anything though
Not sure how the two speaker setup compares to single as I've never heard a single setup. The stereo setup sounds good to me though.

I did it!
I went for the single speaker in each headrest option.
It wasn't as bad of a job as I thought. Even getting the wire through the seat was okay.
I'm glad I had an old wire coat hanger.

| Yep it's straight forward really just daunting cutting into the headrest. The hardest part for me was getting all the wiring of the speakers correct. One speaker in each headrest would have been far simpler |

I only cut my hand twice cutting out the foam!
