REFLECTOR: Headset and mic jacks

[Al Gietzen]

Thanks, guys.  Appreciate the input.

I was about to follow Ron's path and make a mold for the jack housing; but
thanks to Jack (capital J) for the RS tip.  Turns out I have a gift
certificate I can apply (Thank you, Santa).

Al,

The location in the keel that others have suggested works great. Having all
four of the plugs located in the same area (two on each side does make
wiring easy.

As for the recessed box Radio Shack has a great recessed box they sell for
speaker input jacks. You can buy four speaker input boxes , remove the jacks
that are there and replace with the larger headset jacks. You need to run a
little larger drill thru the existing holes to fit the microphone jacks.
They are a nice black plastic finish. screw in using nut plates. I mounted
mine right next to each other but if I did it again I might leave a little
space in between the two on each side of the keel. Just for appearance.

Here is the web site for the recessed box

The speaker terminal is part 274-630 in the center of the page. Available on
line or in most stores.
