Can't wait to see the project finished. Be sure to take lots of pics.

I decided to go with extensions instead. I got 3 of the stereo mini extensions (one each for the RH-96's) and 5 mono extensions (one each for the speakers) I actually already had in my junk boxes 4 monos and a stereo so I only had to buy 2 stereos and a mono. I did use a Cat-5 for the Kenwood mic and a 4 wire phone cord for the Kenwood Control head. There also are the two cables for the CDM heads and a RG-58 for the 4th port on the multicoupler to be connected to a HH scanner.

I mounted an RH-96 in the little pocket above the round Nav Knob without drilling holes (as per the Wife Rules...) I took a peice of 2.4 and cut it with a slight bevel to kind of jam into the slot, and mounted a piece of trim wood on this, with HD velcro on both the RH-96 and trim board the head fits there right nicely! The Kenwood head will be mounted on a ProClip mount to the right of the Nav screen.
