These are my picks for replacements for the center channel speaker mount:

#1: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...cation/TS-A878 (LOL 28KHz fr! Ill be scaring bats!)

#2: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...ker-DS350.html (good sens, decent fr.)

#3: http://www.lanzar.com/sku/VX320/VX-35-Two-Way-Speakers (Good fr. Higher RMS)

#4. http://www.powerbassusa.com/s-352-35-full-range (decent fr, Lower RMS)

What would you pick?

Also, If I get the ML CDC/headunit, Will I need to swap out the existing nav screen unit as well in order to get the dvd playback functionality? or is it pnp with the headunit?

Meh...... If you're gonna go to the trouble of doing the install, I really would recommend something a little better than what you're looking at. The Hertz coaxials are going to sound much, much cleaner and will play louder because of the higher sensitivity rating. I have run Hertz speakers for several years and they are far better than the majority of what is on the market. These are made in Italy, and at the $99 price from Woofers Etc, not a bad deal at all. Their component sets run anywhere from $450-$1200!

I also recommend the Hertz speakers. I'm running their 3 way components and a center 3.5" center channel. They play beautifully.
