Let ℓ≥ 5 be a prime number and \mathbbF_ℓ denote the finite field with ℓ elements. We show that the number of Galois extensions of the rationals with Galois group isomorphic to GL2(\mathbbF_ℓ) and absolute discriminant bounded above by X is asymptotically at least \fracX^\fracℓ12(ℓ-1)# GL2(\mathbbF_ℓ)log X. We also obtain a similar result for the number of surjective homomorphisms ρ:Gal(ℚ/ℚ)→ GL2(\mathbbF_ℓ) ordered by the prime to ℓ part of the Artin conductor of ρ.
