11 meter is very quiet?

View attachment 34082 Where am I going to mount this radio?
Anybody have some pictures of something that works here?
I guess there would be plenty of room it I remove the cup holder, but I use it.
Know what you mean there. Mines a standard. Even less room. Mounted mine down off the console next to my calf, not real good. Been trying to figure an overhead set up, above rearview mirror. The overhead light and onboard comp readout (compass, trip, mpg) is up there too.

Could make amount that rests on seat, middle, with armrest down. Radio would be vertical off front of seat. Seen that set up somewhere.

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger stick shift and there is absolutely no room. I stuck a piece of wood inside the head liner to screw the bracket to. The visors don't go on their hooks but it doesn't bother me. It's the only way I can have a big radio like my Galaxy 99 or this Anytone 5555.

Had to drop the headliner?

Nice job. Have some aluminum sheet 1/8" thk. Wanting to do the same and run coax overhead, but then back to linear under seat, then back out to antenna.

Hmmm, . . . problems.

No can of snoose.

No crumpled Lone Star cans.

No half-empty bag chicharrones.

No bus fare ticket-stub to Piedras Negras

No half-empty can of SUPER R12.

And it ain’t got a transmission!!

“Stand back, boys, hits some kinda mommy-van!!”

The other one I looked at had a transmission, but had the V10 with 4:11 gears in it.
I don't think it could get 7 miles to the gallon.
This one is averaging over 20.
The r12 is in the garage. Haven't got a chance to work on the a.c. yet.
No chicharrones.
Dont get pulled over here with those crumpled cans.
And what the heck is a snoose?
