where to put TV tuner and FM modulator

hey, just wondering where everyone put their TV tuner and FM modulator. would it fit next to the e-brake? under the cup holders? behind the ciggarrette lighter? i'm trying to decide if i should DIY or just have the shop figure it out

eh, but then when you want to switch channels you have to point under the seat(cause i doubt it'll go through the seat). or if its in the trunk you have to point the remote to the trunk which is wack.

i dont have it yet but my friend has a power acoustik one. i know their not known as a very good brand such as clarion but i'm actually suprised with alot of their products. i've had nothing but good experiences with them. but ya it works good, he gets reception even in underground parking(to a certain extent of course). as for the FM modulator, alot of head units dont have AUX inputs in order to put out the sounds through the speakers so you get an FM modulator. you hook up your dvd player, tv tuner or whatever your using to it and it sends the audio into an radio frequency so that you can set it at 91.8 fm(just an example) and hear everything.

there is about a 1" gap next to the ECU by the airbag behind the glovebox.

Very tight fit
