It's the speaker cones pushing the air out. This is the same in any speaker systems. If you have a stereo at home, try it. You'll feel air coming out of it as it makes sound.

Louder the more air. The cone has to vibrate to make sound... and that vibration sends out the air.

first memout how fast were you goin when that air was felt?!
i think it had nothing to do with the speaker
it was the outside air
i feel that when i put my hand where power windows button is and i can feel the air coming in from the outside(traveling around 50 or over mph)

Speaking of air coming in from outside, I do feel air coming in from the window up/down switch area when I'm driving. Could that be what you're talking about??

Yup..I know what you are talking about. If you remove your door panel, you'll see that there is only a sheet of plastic which suppose to keep air/moisture within the door itself. However, there are holes in the plastic for the wire harness to come thru for the power windows/locks. That's where the air is coming thru. Not prone only to Acura...all cars have this problem. But I must say our's is sealed fairly well. I've seen worse...
