I have it between the RVM and the dash, but it \"sags\", and points down. Whoever has it mounted differently, please post your pics and ideas. I am thinking of screwing it into the headliner and moving my RVM down. Of course, I gotta know how to move the RVM....

Suction cups. I looked at that thread, but it just had pics of the D4 it self, and the shield. I want to stay as low pro as I can.

Ditch the suction cups. They will sag with anything that heavy. I drilled into my headliner, thru it and up into the metal, mounted 2 L brackets, and used the channel bolts/wing nuts to secure it. It doesn't move. Here's a pic, you can see the mount in the background on the left. http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/5613/ss2000smcontrolsrx1.jpg

3/4 or 1 in. 1/2 would probably even work. Start small and work your way up.

I will post pictures of my 2 mounted in the front. I used 2 regular L brackets from a hardware store. Works great.

I used to have dual D4's mounted in my headliner via the sun visor brackets... I actually used Sound off's ultralite headliner bracket which worked perfectly with a little modification... Here are my ultralites mounted currently, but I just switched the D4's for the ultralites... Good Luck, Seth
