Speaker Gauge pod vs Center Vent Gauge Pod
Hi all,

I am after opinions as I am currently in two minds. I am about to retrim my interior and am currently running a 3x speaker gauge pod but am considering a center vent gauge pod (no AC) for a potential cleaner look.

Center Vent pod

My current setup.


Let me know your thoughts.

Personally I would never give up the center vent on a street FD.

100% agree. The blower for heat/AC sucks as it is. Why get rid of the second most important vent for it? (First being the old ball cooler)

Keep the vent if not a dedicated 'race car'. If you live in a cold climate the heat coming form it is already limited (or ac)
