[QUOTE="HCCA, post: 6460107, member: 571196"] OK, I knew I had checked everywhere. But, for the sake of being accurate, I just went out to check again. Yep, I was right....no room in either of those two places. Upon opening the glove box, I found there is a steel (Actually, it looks like potmetal) brace, that runs the width of the dash. It spans the full distance across the top of the glove box with about 1/2" of space above the edges of the glove box. Directly behind the glove box is the airbox for the climate control system. About a 1/2" clearance there, as well. On the driver's side...there is also, no room. The pedals, fusebox, and other wiring would make it impossible. Not to mention, placing wiring where it could get tangled with brake/gas pedal! Perhaps you might be thinking of an earlier model Explorer. And, in any event, I will never just shove a stereo component anywhere. It will mount securely, neatly, and where it can be serviced with little effort, or it doesn't fit. And, a 6 1/2 x 3 11/16 x 1 5/8 crossover is a little limiting, as to mounting options. Under the seat also won't work, on this vehicle, as the space under the seat is limited by the electric seat motors that will run down to less than an inch from the carpet, at it's lowest setting.
