2007 Dodge Nitro

So this is my set up. Currently i have a Motorola XTL 5000 with a remote head set up, as well i have a Motorola GTX800. For my antennas they are all NMO; i have a GPS Puck, 2x 800mhz Low profile antennas, 2x Wilson Dual Band Cell Antennas, and a Low Profile Dual Band LTE antenna connected to a wireless internet hub.

I recently added in the center console. I had most of the equipment in the factory console but there were so many limitations to getting to my equipment. My GTX is not pictured in here yet as i haven't received the unit specific brackets to install it in the havis console. I have the mic clipped to the rear of the console for right now until i receive the new brackets.

My install area for all my equipment is in the rear cargo area under a tray. Ill remove my tool box and take some pictures to upload a little later.

yes it is, i need to pick up some 3m tape to attach the bottom of the boot back to the underside of the console. Havis doesn't manufacture a specific console for my vehicle so i chopped the factory in half. I imagine its because that e-brake handle is in the way.

Looks good. I'd like another shot or so of the antenna layout on the roof. With the sky behind it and being at that angle it's somewhat hard to see what's where. Great job on the setup, though!

Figured I would post a few pictures of my hardware and wiring.

There is a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood that covers all of this.

Mike

I looked at his original post and this is what I read that he has

1 - Motorola XTL 5000
1 - Motorola GTX800
1 - GPS Antenna
1 - Wireless Hub
1 - Dual Band Cell Antenna

That would account for the use of 5 antennas

Couple of questions for you, what did you use to mount your hardware in?
Why the use of those cigarette lighter adapter in that area, and not just hardwire them in?

Looks reeally good though.

The lighter plug powers two things. One being a charger system for my flashlight which I remove if I switch vehicles during service.

Second plug connects to a portable radio charger, which I do for the same reason.
Third reason to have that plug there is for portable air compressor should the need arise.

Everything else is hard wired.

Hardware is mounted in a cargo tray. I used a trailer terminal junction box for all of my light connections to the cencom saphire harness. It's sealed and keeps the dust and moisture out. Also makes it very easy to add equipment as I go along.

Everything is wired through a master power switch in the rear which I can turn everything off if my vehicle is ever out of my control.

I have have 6 antennas
There are 2 dual band cell antenna's not one. Reason being is I have two cradles; one on the drivers side and one on the passenger side.

6 antennas and yes only 2 of them are for radios.

2 for radios, 2 for Wilson cell boosters, 1 for the wireless hub, 1 for the GPS tracking

I always put in a spare or two antenna if I need it. Nothing wrong with having a spare.
