Where is everyone mounting their satellite radio antennas and which antenna are you using? I have the Sirius kit for Sony which comes with a little magnetic antenna, but since I have an Illusion tower, it's useless. I saw this marine specific antenna: <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-sMJr7RMvvOJ/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=225350&I=209SIRMAR" target="_blank">http://www.crutchfield.com/S-sMJr7RMvvOJ/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=225350&I=209SIRMAR</a> <BR> <BR>Has anyone used it or others?

I have mine mounted in front of the driver windshield by the cupholder <BR> <BR>looks ok <BR> <BR>but I always get a signal
|
Mine sits right in front of the dashboard, but under the windsheild. I have the wire hidden under the dash. I always get a signal unless someone throws a shirt or hat up there. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by kdr on July 16, 2007)

I have the unit mounted by the cupholder in front of the driver windshield as well. I have the wire coming out of the cupholder hole, and the antenna is secured with double sided tape.
|
mine is just behind the bow light (wire goes in same hole as bow light). nobody ever even notices it there.
|
I slide a small flat magent in one of the sleeves of the bimini and stick the antenna on top of the bimini.
|
I just installed this: <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/CachedPage&c=ProductAsset&cid=112880346385 1" target="_blank">http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/CachedPage&c=ProductAsset&cid=112880346385 1</a> <BR> <BR>on my X-45, port side in front of the window. I went all the way and drilled a hole to mount.
|
Mine was under the dash worked fine
|
Mine cut out alot under the window. In front of the bow nav light works killer.
|
I have mine on the dash, under the ws. It's attached with velcro. No problems. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/483390.jpg" alt="Upload">

is the signal good under the windshield??
|
I have the same thing as Paul mounted with 3M double sided foam tape pads. No problem with bimini and shirts. I had my last boat mounted on the tower and threw it on the dash on my new boat for a temporary hook up and ended up deciding to leave it there.
|
I have mine mounted under the windshield, it cuts out for a second or two anytime I turn to pick up a downed rider...<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/angry.gif" border=0>

I got tired of the signal cutting out. Everything from a sweatshirt, to towels when parked, to the canyon mountains when the boat was leaning would make it cut out. I moved it to the top tower and its worked flawless since. <BR> <BR>Between the bimini, the glass, a sweatshirt, the tower bars, towell...etc....Your asking alot mounting under the window IMO. But one signal cut per day is too many for me. <BR>Maybe i am just asking too much, but i am much happier after spending the time to run it up the tower. <BR>BTW...mine is the mag mount but stuck to the flat part of the aluminum 210 tower with a 1" velcro dot. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by troyl on August 01, 2007)
