When I get my XM I'm thinking on putting it under the rear deck.

Mine is in the trunk because the antenna wires were not long enough to reach under the front passenger seat. I just sat it between my subs and my back seat.

well I just got done installing it. I mounted it on the roof of the trunk above my sub box. took me awhile running the wires making everything all nice and hidden away. pretty easy. still need to do the antenna sometime. Debating weather I should put it on the roof like its made for or just stick it on the rear deck behind the brake light. any input on where I should put it? its gonna be a turk roof mount
