Has anyone mounted their CB above their radio on/above the dash? I'm considering mounting mine there. Looking for some ideas and pics.
Thanks.

 

I saw someone had done it... I can't seem to find the thread now.

 

yeah you can do that
you have to drill it though....do you mind drilling the plastic cover??

 

I am working on a mout for above the radio. I am using Hooked's idea, and modifying it (for the electronics mount). Hopefully I'll finish tomorrow and post it.

 

I don't mind drilling through the plastic. I went to the dealership and bought a new cover piece for just over $5 - just in case I screw up.

I'm also going to dream something up and eventually post it.

 

I mounted my CB above the radio, it works great. I wired all of the wiring down into the dash behind the CB & it looks clean...you can't see any wiring. I even wired a PA speaker & remote speaker to it.

The only consideration you need to think about is that if you have a Rubicon (or a unit with an electronic compass) you'll need to remove the speaker from inside your CB.

Most CB's have the speaker on the bottom...well, as I learned the hard way...the magnet on the speaker throws off the JK's compass unit, which is mounted against the top of the plastic cover over the stereo. Basically, it's too close to the speaker magnet & I am assuming it's a magnetic compass.

So, I took out the CB speaker, mounted a remote speaker in front of the transfer case shifter, & it works like a champ. The compass is back to normal as well.

 

That's odd...aren't most CB speakers shielded? Guess not....never even occured to me. Thanks for bringing it up.

 

Do you have any pics Sixgunz?

 

 

Pics? Sure! How do I post them??
