Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 11:18 pm Post subject: Rear headset jacks on torque tube covers

Has anyone mounted their rear headset jacks on the flap torque tube covers, right next to the tunnel?  Seems like a good location to me, where the wires don't block the doors and the connectors are out of the way.  Anyone have any comments/suggestions?

   

 Thanks..

Rob,

I don't see anything wrong with it except when you need to remove the cover to take out the front seats. However, I just noticed a post with a mod to the seat rails that would solve that problem.

Put mine on the "armrests" - seemed easier for maintenance.

 I mounted my HS jacks in the panel (L & R sides like normal) before I changed my mind and mounted them in the tunnel between the seats.  I plan on mounting the 't-bar' for the front seats in the forward part of my overhead console and the aft one just above the seat crossbar.  

 I think putting the HSs down near the floor would subject them to being stepped on ..... or the cords ...... causing damage.  I'd rethink that location.

Try mounting them in the rear arm rests using the specially designed recessed holder that you can purchase for $16.00 at Spruces.

I mounted my jacks along with a power plug and entertainment jack (1/8") in the tunnel cover between the seat bottoms.

Conrad,

Would you share pictures of your installation?

The torque tube covers need to come off for inspection; do you  want to disconnect each time?

Nice installation!  I was going to mount mine in the channel above the 

panel where you did.  I couldn't figure a good place to hang the 

headsets where the cords were out of the way of passengers getting 

in/out.  So I mounted mine in the console cover between the seats.

Thanks for the replies.  I heard a few potential problems with the torque tube cover location (especially kicking the connectors) and a bunch of other suggestions.  My main concern with the armrest location is the blocking of the door access by the headset cords.  Does anyone regret putting their jacks on the armrest for that or any other reason?
