I have a Pyle Hydra 2 channel amp to my speakers. It has an integral aux input. If you could find a non-battery Bluetooth-aux adapter you may be able to go that route. I haven't looked into it much myself
No the Bose Miata runs a stock amp to power the speakers. I was reading some people like to run this amp.

I'm just using a marine amplifier behind the Pi. That does all the fun stuff you would need a head unit for, even has a volume knob but it's pretty ugly so I left it alone and just use the gpio volume control.
I went with a marine amplifier because it's about as small as you can get so I am able to stick it behind the dash, it's more powerful than most headunits too so it's not a bad choice.
