Wind from central speaker hole

Hi.
I removed the center speaker and now enter a lot of wind from there.
Has anyone experienced the same?
I thought put some cloth ... any idea?
Tks

Same for me... search for floating speaker grills - it's been discussed before and comes down to leaking seals letting air into the trunk essentially.

Buy some Dynamat. It comes in a pack containing two pieces. Both pieces are 12" by 12". Just cut to size then peel and stick from the underside of the dash. It will deaden the wind noise and block the draft.

I had the same problem. I cut a piece of cardboard to fit the hole and placed it under the speaker grill. No more leak.

For now I followed HarryD advice. I think is the quickest way to solve the levitating speaker grill.
Tomorrow I'll let you know if it worked.

S!,
I've got this problem also. What is the best way to access the center speaker mount?
