Wiring Help?

Im wiring my new Cobra 29 WXNWBT CB and i dont know witch side to run the coax down. (I have a sub) I have my Power on the drivers side and my remote and rca's on the passenger side. What would be the best set up? Im mounting a Wil 1k on the roof coming in through the 3rd brake light.

You might actually have to wait longer than 15 minutes to get a answer.

I probably will but it will have to cross one of the two some time or another. Im just wondering what would be best.
I imagine i don't want to be sending a signal down my rcas.

Yeah I would run down the power side. You should be able to shoot down the a-pillar through the dash though and minimize contact wherever your CB is mounted.

Monster Truck,

How did this go, did you get it in ?
Sorry but I do not read this forum much, but would be willing to help if you haven’t got it in.

After the install make sure to tune the antenna, although the Lil Wil should be fine.
