I just got a Sirius radio for Christmas & was wondering where you guys have your antennas mounted. Do they really have to be mounted outside the truck for the best reception?
Best bet is to stick it on the roof, although you can toss it up on the dashboard and drive around with it like that for awhile to see if it works for you.Uneasy Rider said:I just got a Sirius radio for Christmas & was wondering where you guys have your antennas mounted.

Today I rode with someone who just got Sirius. He had the antenna on his dash and it was not good. We tried it on his roof and it was a HUGE difference.Uneasy Rider said:I just got a Sirius radio for Christmas & was wondering where you guys have your antennas mounted.

With out any question put it on the dash, you wont know the difference. And nothing to take apart or drill as well as someone stealing it. Been on my dash for a long time no problems.Uneasy Rider said:I just got a Sirius radio for Christmas & was wondering where you guys have your antennas mounted.

Go to www.crutchfield.com they have a video showing the install of the antenna through the third break light.Uneasy Rider said:I just got a Sirius radio for Christmas & was wondering where you guys have your antennas mounted.

Put it on the roof and run it through the x-cab window. It's a quick, lazy way of doing it and if you need to remove it, then you don't have any hassles. It's easy enough to hide the wire and the window seals like it normally would.Uneasy Rider said:I just got a Sirius radio for Christmas & was wondering where you guys have your antennas mounted.
