This post implies that the spare is behind the seats and under the cover behind them. That true?

here was my setup when I had mine.
Hong Kong market Kenwood double din, slide face, CD/CDR/minidisc head unit. Cool thing was it had normal US radio frequencies unlike most japanese decks. I also had audiobahn components, 6.5s, 4s, and tweets.
Plus my headrest speakers and controls worked like stock. It is VERY easy to get them to work, all it requires is one wire be jumped at the head unit harness plug.

On my car it was a brown and red wire that served as the stock headrest amp turn on wire...just like a remote wire on an aftermarket amp. Just give that wire switched voltage and everything else works properly. Of course the "rear" channels have to feed signal too, just as if you were hooking up rear speakers in a coupe.
I just jumpered a small wire from the 12v+ switched wire, to the brown/red wire, so the amps could be powered anytime the switch was on. You could also use your deck's amp turn on wire if equipped.

So, is it possible to take faded RCA outputs from a head unit and put that into the OEM headrest amp?
I've alreayd replaced all of my speakers with Infinity's (front four in parallel on eahc side wit hthe rear ouput being fed by the old leads to the lower speakrs goign back to a sub I put under the read deck.
Another option: I was looking at the Crutchfiled adapter and it will accomodate a half-DIN equalizer so my other thought was to run the sub and front speakers off a Blaupunkt MP3 head unit, then run the RCA outputs to a half-DIN equalizer and use that to power the headrest speakers - using it's fader to control the realtive volume of headrest speakers between the driver and passenger.
(I also just picked up some extra headrests with speakers off of ebay in case I blow the headrest speakers.)
Waht are some good aftermarket speakers that will fit in the headrests?
