  Seems the only logical place for a relatively large unit would be
between he passenger seats.  For my IC-706 which is not much larger that
an old style 2m mobile, I've seperated the control head from the body
and mounted it, the control head, to a special arm afixed to the dash
just to the left of the cigarette lighter.  The body of  the radio is
under the driver's seat.  I'm very happy with the installation.
