having used a 706 for YEARS.... in my VW...
i tried the kx3 mounting it in the lower console down by the
handbrake, BETWEEN THE SEATS where the 706 head was.
The KX3 with the mic/pwr/ctl lines out the left and the BNC out the
right, doesn't fit ..too wide. However the KX2 fits even with that BNC .
I had considered taking off the KX3 BNC and putting an sma on the
left side with the other required connections, with that teflon version of 174.
Enter the KX2, I made a small tray with the 3d printer. So the kx2
can snap in/out. The rear / bottom of the mount has a large cutout
for the audio to get out.
And the 'mount' to the car also has a audio funnel. The KX2 seems to
be much louder than the KX3... I do not even need an external
speaker....and my vw sportwagen is loud inside ( road noise)) I
slide the kxpa100 under my front seat, where it can be removed easily,
only issue i have , system on power up keeps reverting back to amp off...
This week .... was working a guy on 80, I checked and the amp was on
only to discover MUCH LATER the power was set to 5 watts....I wish
it would retain amp on and the power. maybe something I am doing wrong...
eventually i'll get some good pictures KX2 W/ AMP GETS MY MOBILE VOTE
