OK, that's what I thought... Did you had to seal the floor?

Are you going to use the center speaker for the Tyt radio?

I didn't.

How hard was it to drill out the NMO mount? I've been looking at doing this on my truck...it's unquestionably THE BEST mounting method for an antenna on these vehicles. Now that I spend little to no time in parking garages, I have no good excuse for not installing one or more likely two (HF and VHF).

Yup like the others have said drilling the hole is easy. i just used one of my hole saws and if you want The Antenna farm sells a nice one also. running my wire wass easy as i drilled it near the 3rd break light opening.

I finally have mine fully operational again. Never did get the switch to work for the VHF and stock radio.

Yes already done. It's a full time VHF speaker. Until I figure out a switch I notice a difference in the sound. But I can't figure out this damn software for the radio. It's like it's missing the enter button. I can't tell if it took the Freqs you gave me. But so far this radio look like it can do a lot. It's actually like having two radios.
