Easy!
Review by zigZag -
I have a late model Camaro with a custom antenna mount placing the antenna where the stock am/fm went. This coax is small enough and flexible enough that I was able to work it in and under all the factory plastic and carpet without drilling or cutting anything. I also notice a huge difference in performance between this and the original 10' coax I got from Radioshack. Much better clarity. Used with a Firestik Quick Disconnect, Firestik Medium CB antenna spring and a Firestik FS antenna. (Posted on January 18, 2013)Overall Rating

Firestik 18' Coax Cable
Review by Dave D -
I ordered this cable to go with the 3' Firestik antenna, and was surprised how small and supple Coax cable has become. I ran it from the passenger door mirror of my Bronco II, across the engine side of the firewall, through a grommett, under the carpet to the 75 WX ST unit under the driver seat, and still had cable left. The length is tuned for best reception, so there was no need to cut the excess. And the pre-installed ends made installation a snap!Overall Rating

Nice, small cable!
Review by Anthony L -
Very nice cable, small in diameter so it's flexible and easy to run. It's connecting a Wilson 4' antenna to a Cobra 75 and works perfectly. Great SWR readings and awesome signal quality. (Written 6/21/10)Overall Rating

Works and didn't have to drill
Review by Darrel -
I used this cable to connect a 3' Firestik antenna mounted on the hood of my '98 Ford Explorer to the junction box of a Cobra 75 WX ST radio mounted behind the dash. I was able to pass the cable end through the grommet where the AM/FM antenna enters the cab and therefore didn't need to drill any holes in the firewall.
