Hi list,



I've been thinking of locating my front headset jacks on the outside edges of the panel switch bar and the rear jacks at the forward edge of the outboard "armrest" panels.

How did the jacks you installed work out?  Are there any changes you wish that you made prior to drilling?

Thanks for the help,

David

Originally I had the jacks mounted on the switch panel.  My other planes 

have the jacks close to the same place.  On the other planes I have to 

drape the cords so they're out of the way for entry and egress.  PITA 

for me.  So, I placed the jacks on the tunnel cover for both front and 

rear about where the hips would sit so they'd be out of the way . I 

wired the switch panel jacks direct to radios for emergency use in case 

the intercom went belly up..  Headsets will hang from my overhead 

console so they would be out of the way for entrance and egress. I'm not 

flying yet so I don't know if my thought process is good or not.

I used two of these for the front: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/forbes5.php?clickkey=3041841

 

One is located on each side of the tunnel, just forward of the seat.  I like the jacks here as the headset cord is not going over your lap or legs.  In the back I mounted the jacks on the flap cover, just outboard of the tunnel on each side.  Same idea – the cords do not cross over your lap or legs.

 

I’m happy on how they worked out.

That's the way I did it. I was thinking of getting the  rear plugs in a position so that it would be difficult to break them. Abby's interior package had  some room from plugs on the armrests, maybe lots others did the same. I don't ride back there much but none have been broken. Up front extra cords can be tucked into side pockets.

David,



My jacks are pretty much as you're describing. The fears work out fine but I wish my front jacks were more towards the center. The cords can be a hassle getting in and out. 

No matter where you but them, be sure they're easy to see in flight without having to crane around too much.

Here's what I did in the front seats to accommodate powered Bose     jacks and regular jacks.  It has worked great.

     

     Front       Jacks mounted on side walls

     

     What's not shown are the hooks mounted out of sight on the side     walls near the rudder pedals.  When not in  use, the headsets are     hung there, out of the sun and mostly out of sight.  It keeps the     cables out of the way for entry and exit though they do lay on the     floor.  Even new passengers have no trouble returning the headset to     the hook even though the hook itself can't be seen.
