I don't mind if it sticks up/out a bit - I can still hear the factory speaker that way.
I'm going to Nashville the second weekend in September though, so I'm thinking, my CB & scanner are going in NEXT week sometime, so I'm running out of mounting options. This is starting to look like a better idea each time. In fact I might take THIS: http://www.cbcity.com/item/6-Pedestal-Mount-1421
And mount it beside the right-hand power socket in front of the shifter, and mabe add THIS:

Just to make sure I have a REALLY good, offset mount to it!
