I have a fiat tempra SX. I recognized that it has 2 compartments in the front for speakers. I heard that you are not allowed to put speakers next to the dashboard cause it will interfere with the digital display. Is this true? If anyone has an answer can you please send me an e-mail at kurtgalea@onvol.net thank you.
