Batboard

Going to be installing a W5 110 watt Astro Spectra in my friend's liberty. I think we're going to mount the drawer under the passenger seat or in the rear cargo area, but the control head is where the problem is. I was going to put it in the little area in front of the shifter, but she would loose her 12v power there, which gets used often. Her light controls and siren are mounted on the passenger side of the console, and we are about out of real-estate there, at least until she gets a handheld siren. About the only other place we can put it right now is on the dash. I'm just having problems figuring out where to run the control head cable. She doesn't want any huge holes drilled, so I am thinking of running it right along the windshield to the passenger side, dropping it down and taking the panel on the side of the dash off, running it down through there to the floor, and come out at the radio under the passenger seat?

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks

What about adding a new lighter socket in a different location? Seems like that would be easy to fit in somewhere, and you could still put the head near the shifter.

Same problem in my exploer so heres what I did



I mounted mine by the rear view and ran the mic cable through the glasses holder never gets used and attached the mic. Took a bit of doing but it was over all the best spot for it. Not sure how much room you got in a jeep but just an idea

That's what I suggested after thinking about it, but she doesn't like that idea. I'm going to try to con her into it, but if not, I'm probably going to use BigTex1136's idea, and see if I can't do it like that.

Thanks for the replies
