Yes, that gives me a headache too, just thinking about it!! Although I have
to say that's a great idea making the enclosure behind the dash and venting
it via some sort of conduit. Sounds like something Bose would think of.

The other possibility would be to install a speaker on top of the dash,
firing up into the windshield. I'm not sure what's loated underneath the
dash, and if this is even a feasible option, but there are many new cars
coming from the factory nowadays with a center channel already built into
the top of the dash. (Holding head, wreathing in pain)

OR, one could use the double-DIN sized opening for their stereo to make a
flush mounted enclosure for a decent center channel, provided they have
somewhere else on the dash for their head unit. One could relocate the
heating & a/c controls, etc. (Hydrocodone anyone?)
