VHF/UHF/CB/Scanner Mounted

YosemiteSteve · 11-18-2005, 12:37 AM

here are some pics of my location for goodies. While searching for the perfect spot, I noticed the center area kept filling with trash, coins, etc... I found a piece of sheet metal started measuring a template then using 3M adhesive glued the gray carpet on to match interior and mounted the radios.

very nice. if it sat flush, that'd be even better... but hey, we gotta work with what we have, right?

Yeah your right, the Titan interior is not really ideal for mounting goodies that's for sure.

Two antenna's both mounted on the top (yep...I drilled) Antenex Whipless Antenex and a basic black UHF for scanner. CB antenna is mounted on the tool box in the rear. If you check some of my truck pics you can see the antenna's on the top.

How/where did you run the wire through for power? Did you tie it in to your speakers?

Actually I have many other accessories along with my dual battery system. To power everythiing I ran a 4 ga lead wire through the firewall driver side to a stinger fuse block then each accessory has its own power wire that is fused. The fuse block is located on the side metal wall under the kick panel drivers side just above the lower plastic trim.

As far as tapping into the speakers, because the units are in the center console the plate I made allows part of the speaker from the radios to be exposed, sound is really not a problem at all. If I was having a sound problem though, I would just buy a couple of Motorola external speakers and mount them under the dash, those things are freaking incredible.

sounds pretty complicated hehe.. I guess I will try and figure out how to power my CB with out using up any of my outlets. Could you tell me more about your Strobes? Where you bought them? How much? Ease of Install? You can PM me or post here.
