Good morning, did some searching this morning through the forums and didn't really see what I am looking for. I recently purchased a KG-1000G Wouxun 50 Watt GMRS radio for my TJ. I've sat in the jeep and contemplated mounting locations for the main body of the radio. Its decent size and will only fit a few places that I can see, just not much room in our TJS for things like this: Radio body is below.
1) Inside the console: Plenty of room in there, however likely will get too hot and the radio might not be able to cool itself
2) behind the console: out of the way, but not totally, passengers in back seat may bump, unit is exposed
3) under the passenger seat: seems to be out of the way, will need to fabricate a bracket to mount to the seat bolt, wondering if the when the seat is moved forward if it will dislodge the radio. Anyone have their radio mounted or something mounted under the seat here?
4) Under the glovebox to the side of the tub: kind of in the way?
The head unit will be mounted at the top of the windshield header, just looking for some input and to see if anyone else has mounted one somewhere. I do not want to mount the radio on top of my dash, any input would be appreciated.
