Congratulations. After decades of flying many different types of aircraft with many different locations for the head set jacks I came to the conclusion that locating the jacks behind the pilot and copilot seats was the best solution. I built my airplane that way and it has worked great. When the pilot's jacks are behind the copilot's seat and the copilot's jacks are behind the pilot's seat it makes it possible to both see and manipulate the plugs while seated and strapped into your seat. I have used this benefit many times. Also the plugs are not banging into your knees while plugged into the instrument panel and the wires are not dangling across your lap.

Ames" Subject: AeroElectric-List: Re: Splicing of 2 or 3 conductor shielded cable I am relocating the comm and mic jacks in my Lancair to a position behind the pilot/co-pilot seatback and so the comm and mic cables need to be lengthened. Any suggestions here for what would be the best method for splicing additional length to these cables and also maintaining the integrity of the shields?
