Sirius Installation

Hey all,
I just bit the bullet and got a subscription to sirius satellite radio. I am wondering what the best route of installation would be. I am thinking about running the antenna wires to the trunk/bonnet/whatever the front trunk is called and then hooking it up from there. Has anybody done this before....oh yeah its a targa.....
Thanks
C

PS I know many of you will say "all I need is the sweet sound of my flat six" good for you....I wanna Boooooooogie

my sirius antenna is dead center on the dashboard, it does cut out occasionally but it's a tradeoff to not having it outside.....other 911's i've stuck it just in front of the windshield above the fresh air vent, works better when it's on the outside.
you can catch your 12+/ground at the radio easily.

I've got XM. You can see the antenna in the middle of the targa bar...

Best Answer

Rear Targa bar or top of rear winshield. Cutting out will be annoying. Don't settle for the easiest way out.

Best of luck! I love Sirius...
