Default Sirius radio install in Silverado?

Where are you guys mounting the radios at? I see where there are a few places but with the antenna and power cord, your options are reduced.. Just curious what everyone else is doing and if you have pics..thats even better..Thanks Jim

i have a sirius ready reciever so i don't have the add on box. however i mounted my ant on the roof. i have my wires running into the third break light. i placed the ant only as far away as the rubber molding strip would allow it to go away from the break light.

i just installed the sirius one in my truck the other day. i ran the antenna from the roof through the third brake light, into the truck, down the drivers side, up into the fuse panel area, under the A pillar and to the unit which is mounted in the bottom left side of the windshield. i then took the power cable from the cig. lighter into the steering colum, then into the fuse panel, up the A pillar and into the unit. the only wires that are visable are the two coming from the unit. you see about a inch of them untill the go into the A pillar. hope that wasnt too confusing. go navy!
