I do use them for 2 & 440 only 'cuz I havn't had the time to do the install (family business and now a retirement offer I can't refuse has stolen much of my free time). They have their place and aren't all bad, but can cause problems.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></div> <div><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> I also recommend doing a real install. The holes do not adversely change the value. My last car, a 92, had 248,000+ miles so I don't care anyway. You can use mag mounts and have no problems or you can. You may or may not be able to solve them almost all can be solved. There are al of of tricks I know from my
early installation days and if you don't know them, it can seem impossible sometimes. All the way from dash clock spew to trunk-closing motor lines and bumper mounts and motorcycle seat springs.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></div> <div><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> Right now if I run the full 50 W on 2, my Garmin V starts its shut down sequence, thinking it lost external power.
