It's also a good place to buy your CB equipment. :sun:

This is indeed correct as well. For best "pattern" you would mount the antenna in the center of the roof. The signal pattern is pulled more towards where there is more metal (ground plane). When the metal is equal under the antenna the pattern is more of an doughnut shape.

Trying to locate the "best" (safest) place to route radio power wiring thru the firewall in my 1999 Pathfinder. Can't find any info showing gromets or locations safe to drill a hole.

Appreciate any info...

If you truck is like ours, there is a grommet NW of the clutch, just near the bottom of the dash. I tape the wire to a coat hanger (bent at the end so it doesn't poke anything) and force it through. After adding lights, etc the hole can get a bit cramped There is also another one behind the glovebox, but I've never bothered to dig up in there.

Ok, I'll poke around and see what I can find. It's kinda tight quarters in the truck and big quarters for me...lol...but it'll be worth it to find an existing route for the power cord...

Thanks for the info.
