I sure wouldn't be able to see. The center speaker might work, although its farther away (1-1.5 feet) from the dash. That will probably be the route i take, since it would be much easier to work with. ...and i'll just hope it doesn't generate one (or, at least not a visible one on the console/dash). I think i can live with that specific one in an 'out of sight out of mind' way. -Brenden
