Adding the 4" speakers to the Dash?

Hi folks,
My 1988 LHD LR90 never had a stereo and a I'm getting ready to add a system
I'd like to know something about how the dash speakers are mounted specifically THE SPEAKER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH,
I understand how it will be on the left side where I'll install it on the wiper cover with a spacer ring to limit how big of a hole I'll have to make and how deep it will go. But on the right side.... Isn't that making a hole right into the Air chamber in the lower dash?
Should I stack 2 spacers so the hole is minimal and seal it someway so air doesn't escape thru there or have the cold air dry out the speaker ?
I've never done that on the lower dash so don't know what's in there on that side of the dash.

PS. Got Focal 130's in the back and Focal 100s for the front. Not looking for anything spectacular or too loud.
I've insulated enough to where I can have a conversation with my kids in the back while at speed without yelling..

You may need to post pictures of your specific dash setup. A previous owner of my D90 definitely managed to drill holes for two crappy 4" speakers on both sides of under the dash hooked up by a rats nest of vampire tapped wiring behind the dash (I'll post pictures later). The other option to consider is to get door cards (e.g. Mudstuff.UK) that have speaker mount areas in them near your ankle/shin.

Eventually I will add a real head unit, but for now, I just run a battery-powered bluetooth speaker (UE Boom / Megaboom) and stick it in the dash right beside the steering wheel and it's plenty loud:

I have an original NAS110 dash with factory lower speakers and some degenerate drilled a hole for a speaker in the new 110 dash (which is odd because there is no evidence of an actual radio). Happy to get pics of either or both. I have the $22 anker Bluetooth speaker. In my NAS90 I removed the front door panels and just have two speakers in the back.
