Re: speaker/screen directly under dash mat

behind that area is a wiring harness and at some point in the center there is a metal brace to help support the dash assembly. The center ducts might run down right there too. I wouldn't drill directly into it without dropping the steering column and partially disassembling/ separating the dash shell. Otherwise there's a very good chance you'll drill into something you don't want to.
