>theres no way you'll be able to install a speaker and a foot of ducting, its too hard

setting the bar low i see

I mean... I guess you could do that??? there's nothing really stopping you.

As the frequency increases the directionality of the sound increases. There is no "ducting" sound above low midrange (vocal bass). You can duct bass, you can duct mid bass, you can even try to duct upper bass, but there is no ducting anything that relates to stereophonic sound staging. Ducts are about resonant frequencies and bass.

Staging, stereo, and imaging are about precise location of high frequencies. That's why tweeters are so sensitive to placement and aiming. You can't duct tweeters.

That said, a long time ago I did an install in an RX-7 that was all about SPL. We installed midrange and tweeter high efficiency horns under the seats firing into the firewall carpets, knowing it would have shitty staging. It worked OK, and gave us a ton of volume. That was a long time ago. We can do a lot better today.

Learn about how frequencies are transmitted, cabin gain, and staging.

Just replace your driver's seat with an X-Rocker

I don't know what compelled me to do this, but I did it, didn't I?

And now you all gotta live with it.

Why not remove the vents and just find speakers that you can fit into them? Probably won't be huge but it'd likely work best.

You're better off just using the downward firing speakers with no ducts.
