Dearing,

Another quickie idea. If you look just to the right of the center console of the Explorer (with the stereo and climate controls), you will see a teeny little vent. If you put a small switch in that space (but not so large that it blocks the airflow. You could also run the wires part way down the vent duct, and pull them out at a joint or drill a tiny, totally unseen hole behind the dash to run your wires to the box.) It might look almost professional, and leave no permanent visible damage. What Tanstaafl said, about asking a professional install shop, sounds like a great idea. I know a fair amount about cars, and general info about audio installations, but your best bet for a creative mounting solution would definitely be a shop that does it day in, day out. Good luck with the switch as well.

p.s. *please* don't put those stickers on your car, it's like a beacon, as others have said here.
