Default Center Channel Speakers

Yes, I've seen those DIN sized center channel deals (I've never heard them)
but I would be very skeptical about how much mid-range/mid-bass they could
produce.

The alternatives however, like you mentioned, could be more trouble than
they are worth. I am CONSIDERING (only considering) building a small
enclosure for my 6.5" and putting that behind the dash. It would vent out
of the DIN size opening currently being used as a storage tray (the original
stereo was double DIN). My LCD screen sits on top of my dash. Wheh...
Just describing this gives me a headache.

If anybody else has a better idea, I would love to hear it.

Actually, I just ordered a brand spankin' new 2006 Ford Mustang GT!!
It'll take a couple of months to get here, so in the mean time I'm
visualizing all the things I'm going to do to it.

I don't know what I'm going to do about the whole center channel
situation. The Stang has a double-DIN opening in the dash and I figured I
could fit one of those DIN-sized center channel speakers underneath the
stereo, but I just can't imagine one of those sounding that good - hence
the reason I was asking about them.

The only other option would be to do some serious dash modification and
drop in a real speaker, like you're considering doing. I'm not sure if
it's worth the hassle though.

I suppose the easiest route would be to choose one of the speakers I asked
about and give it a try. If I don't like it there's always eBay.
