I'm no longer trucking. I have a Stryker 440 hp that I wanna install in a 2015 Chevy Impala. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'd look at a trunk mounted antenna for the car, there is a variety of mounts that are pleasing to the eye. The hard thing is figuring out where to install the radio, give us a clue as to that.

I go with Army1975 on the hump mount if you have room between the seat and dash to put one. that is the way I have mine mounted in a 2003 S10 and a 1999 f150 pickup. . they even have a speaker that aims up to plug the radio into. mine even have 2 cup holders in it if needed. workman is the ones I have. looks like another company is even putting the same one out under another name. you can find them from 20.00 to 30.00 shipped to your home. I bought one for 20.44 shipped the other day just to have a extra one since it was so cheap.

a good trunk mount antenna is a clean setup for your antenna for a car. just depends on what you like. you can also get a lip mount for your trunk , you have to drill 2 holes under the flange to hold it if you do not like the trunk mount. all depends on you imagination as to what you want to do

hey Army that was where I got mine and the guy had 2 of them new for 20.44 and I bought one just because it was so cheap. his posting only lasted a few hours at that price. he has about 10 pages of stuff to sell all the time and some are super cheap. i did not need it but could not pass up the price. the price you paid is the normal price right now and I like the mount my self.
