Headset jacks/Classic Aero Int.

[RV7Guy]

I'm looking for ideas on where to mount the headset jacks on a 7 with slider and complete Classic Aero interior. I really don't want to mount them on the panel.

On my current 7 Tip Up. I have them mounted on the Roll Bar brace that goes to the baggage bulkhead. Great location. It keeps the wires out of the way.

Thanks in advance.

I mounted them below the vents. Feel free to look at my photo album in my signature and go about 2/3rd of the way down. I'm not flying yet but I've spent some time sitting with the entire interior installed and this location seems to be OK. I just let the wires lay along side of the seat.

Mounted mine on the forward face of the seat back cross bar between the seats, they are out of the way and cord sits in the middle. Switched the mike on my bose to the right so the cord does not drape across the chest.

and tucked under just an inch or so. Conventional location, but the wires are sometimes a hassle getting in or out. I like the idea of the cross bar between the seat backs, or maybe the flap actuator tower (don't know if there's room...

Waiting for blue tooth adapters...

Mounted mine under the vent and onto the Classic Aero Aviator side panel.

I mounted mine on the back of the flap actuator housing, in the baggage area. It works out perfect for me. The wires come from behind you. Between the seats. When I get out off the plane I put the headsets in the baggage area on a hanger. The jacks are near the floor low on the vertical brace for the flap actuator. It keeps the wires out of the way.

I'm convinced I need to put my jacks behind me somewhere. What kind of wire do you all use?

Im looking for the same info. Can I get jacks at radio shack or do I need "special" aircraft jacks? I believe I can use 22g shielded wire. Is that correct? I want to mount them on the side of the flap box so the wires are all behind me and not in the way when I try to get in and out.

Nate, how do you remove the side panels for the condition inspection?

Mine are mounted just above the vents, right under the angle piece. They are out of the way and easy to get to. The wires lay right down along your leg.

While a personal choice, I never liked the plugs in the back because they are in the way when loading stuff in the baggage compartment.

I put mine on the side of the Flap Actuator housing, they are in a location where I can reach all 4 plugs while sitting in the left side, they are behind me, and they are out of the way for baggage b.c they stick to the right side instead of straight back. As far as the condition inspection, I can remove the left side panel and get to everything I need to, and If I do need to remove the left, it will just lay down.
