I want to use a ball mount with the "lug type" connector in my mobile. Will this thing work to run 300-600 watts max through it? Will be using either Belden RG-8X or Times LMR-240 coax if it matters.

Yeah, you should be fine. What kind of antenna? What kind of car? Thanks.

if your installation allows the use of ANY coax, use lmr400 or 9913. the lug is preferred to an S0239. as long as the ball mount is of high quality, go for it.

The coax will be running between the roof and headliner so most any coax will work.Happen to have about 50 ft. of 9913 laying out in the garage now.Problem is making the bends behind the dash panel between the radio,amp,and meter.

LMR240 will easily handle your 600 watts. Go for it!
