    In Mexico lot's of drivers use the 102" on their trucks and most of them put it on the hood right by the Kw sign, i don't have no clue what kind of results this set up give, but this is a common set up over there.

    It looks odd....also seen lot's of 102" right at bottom of windshield right in the middle.

    In theory you should not, mounted in center of available mass you don't... in the less than ideal mounting locations on these trucks, some tuning ability may help.

    Volvo, so no problem running coax through your door jamb? My prostar has the corner window that opens and the weather stripping seems to have enough give to it to keep the coax from getting pinched much. Is this an acceptable way to run it?
