That was really the only place to mount the CB that I really liked and that was easy to mount and get the wires to. I had thought about mounting to my overhead console but I really didn't want to mess with the headliner.

It can go either way. I didn't like the way it came off the bottom of the mount. Plus all the continuities check out.

I have broken about two or three antennas. So now I just use a magnetic mount antenna which is right in the center of my roof and it has better ears now than the prior firestik. For what it is worth.
