unlikely ALL the air will flow out of the vents but enough should he should be ok. if they dont take some foam wrap and wrap it around the vents to make a tube TO the ac vents

i was JUST fixing to tell you this will be worthless and you will fry it if you dont have a processor but nevermind. how much did you get your MS8 for?

Unless, you and speed are looking to see something else... it's just stock with no ML center grill.

I started the thread on good deal, I believe it was under 500 bux.

LOL, I don't have an ML center... I haven't cut it yet. But The speaker grill is attached to the speaker itself to protect the cone.

I still need to cut the dash.

i know yhou didnt have a ML center but i didnt realize until this last post that you hadnt cut the speaker out from the top yet.... guess thats why i couldnt see it.

post some pics when you do, if you get really clever or motivated you can buy a ML grill and mount it in the hole you cut

I took out the coax and put in the components critical mass... these go low as 50hz (at low power, haven't tried it with some authority yet)... it might go even lower, but I just installed it..haven't tested it yet.

Since it goes so low, there is too much rattle by it being sandwhich... if I open and load from the top, I think the rattle will go away.

hhmmmm....
