02's + have the tweeters in the door but the stock radio still blows.
I'm 6' 1" and about 190lbs and have never had a problem of the wind skimming the top of my head in the 4 years of ownerships.

Thanks for the responses, I guess I'll play around with the seats to see what I could do. The only thing I found so far were rails that lowered the seats like 7/8 of an inch or modding the stock setup by removing foam/hammering the pan, etc to lower the seats so far.
Also from the responses it seems like there is no solution (deflector, etc) made to date for deflecting some wind off the top of the windshield?

You sound like you've searched well and you're right about the seat lowering options of either aftermarket rails or 'biff, bash, drill' of the OEM seat.
Personally if I was your height I would:
A: Get laid more often.
B: Follow the 'how to' on lowering the drivers seat. I think it will transform your ownership of the vehicle, even at a paltry 5'10" I'm going to carry out this well documented mod.
I wish you well.

Yes, I have this issue as well. The wind feels like it's trying to lift my hair off my head, and a hat is no solution. Either I feel it's about to be blown off, or the wind is flapping any "loose" area at the top against my head.
I'm considering the lowered seat rails.

Yeah, you're too tall and the radio sucks. You should buy a honda oddyssey. They have lots more width, no wind, and a sweet stereo. 
Seriously, these cars rule. I've had mine as a DD for 5 years and still love it every day.
