Cheers, Gav. I presume that then places it in the back?
I occasionally have friends that are drunk enough to try and squeeze in the back on the odd occasion

or family that want a lift so it's easier for me to have it all under my seat except for the head and mic. But then nothing stopping me from having used a seperate bit of carpet under my seat I suppose!

Yeah, that's true, but with it sitting on the back hump thing it's not likely that anyone sitting in the middle seat is going to try and put their feet there. I hope

Quiz question? do you use your heaters set to the floor vents?.. cause if you do you may run the risk of over heating your radios

Never really been an issue

(Edit: Most of the damage I've seen with floor-mounted radios has been impact damage due to cargo - a bottle of water can have quite a bit of energy behind it if it hits something as it rolls along the floor)

Nope seldomly is it on heat, and if it is it's only on fan I can't remember the last time I used my air conditioner. I go by the only free air is when you open your window!
