Being as it is a mid driver, that should be a perfectly adequate volume. If you can spray a bit of damping on the interior of the mid's volume, or line it with a felt, that'll help. You'll be putting some amount of stuffing in there, as well. Not much, but some. That'll help keep that small volume from ringing, especially considering the frequencies you will be running!
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

sounds great. did you get to go over the amps and everything I listed?

I'll be making the rings tomorrow and hopefully positioning them. obviously the mid and tweet need to be at the same angle, but would it mater if I mounted the tweeter say 2" off the panel, the mid 3-4" off the panel and the woofer 4-5" off the panel? I want to have a "stepdown" look to the panel if it's possible. I hope you can make sense of what I'm saying. Also, from the drawing you put on here, would it be okay to move the tweeter more forward and the woofer backward? basically put it in the same line but have the woofer low left and the tweet high right? Yet again, I hope that makes sense.

I've got to go get a respirator... that mdf and fiberglass dust is gonna end up hurtin me... later dave!

So, you are wanting the woofer to intrude more deeply into the cabin (4-5 inches) than the tweeter (1-2 inches)? Won't be necessary, if I am understnding you to be saying...
I'd really like to see you keep more "tipped", array-wise, rather than vertical. If you can keep the woofer and mid from firing directly into the seat, and sucking up a grand portion of their output, I think you'll be OK, tipping the other direction, or moving toward a "vertical" line... In fact, thinking about it again, it might be even a little bit better, as the path lengths will be closer to each other in length... Equal path lengths, goooood!
Keep em out of the seat, and I think you'll be OK...
Actually I have been on vacation (last week) and my EMR blew up today, so I wasn't able to check in very much... I'll be deciding on amplifier assignments probably tonight! ;) Didja get your subs, yet? (NM... you said you were going to order those later...)

I promise they will deffinetly not be firing into the seats! Might as well stick with the MA if I was gonna do that! hahaha! I pulled out the molds at work yesterday and the speakers are going to fit. I tried making some rings today with my rotory tool ( didn't work I need a router!) so I've hit another little set back, but it'll get taken care of.  

Mmmmm... Vacation! I wish I had the time built up at work to take one. I've got to wait til july for my week off.... been thinking about going to vegas... but I'm sure theres way too much to get a 22yr old in trouble there! hahaha

EMR blew up? that's no good! I take it you are in the medical field?

ya, If the bills allow it I'm going to order the daytons on the last day of the month (payday!). Do you think If I called up parts express and played the "whats the best you can do on those" game they would budge any? lol! thanks dave!

True dat, but my pay won't be going up to keep up with the cost of living, either...
