mobridge and GearShade system complete

[Sherpa11]

awesome thanks so much! im getting my ducks in a row to order all this stuff. not really a stereo guy as far as wiring but a buddy is going to help with it who knows what he's doing.

is it pretty intrusive getting all the wiring routed up through the cab or not too big of a deal? and sorry for the 50 questions I appreciate the help!

To tag onto Sherpa11's question, can you run both the Mobridge amp power line and the harness from the ACM down the passenger side of the car, or do you need to split those up and have one run down the driver's side and one down the passenger's side?

Not a big deal. It's a bit tight going across the center of the dash/console, but you can do it without pulling any panels off. Once you get across that, it's all pretty open, nice easy open channels going from front to back via the door sills, and up inside the dash is all pretty open and easy to get to, and there's already a grommet (or two) through the firewall to pull the power cable though.

Hardest part really is getting the rear cargo panel off to get at the subwoofer, and that isn't exactly hard.

Can go either route with them. I used the driver's side grommet to bring power through, then ran my power line under the dash across to the passenger side.

But you could just as easily run the power line down the driver's side, and then cut across under the rear seat where the hinged flap is.

I think there's also a passenger side grommet, so you ~could~ cut across on the engine side of the firewall, but I would recommend one of the interior options rather than that - I don't like leaving power wire exposed out there where it can more easily get rodent / heat / mechanical damage.

And some folks have run underneath the Bronco via the frame and popped up under the cargo area floor through the plastic jack storage area - those have mostly been air compressor installs and the like, but it's possible. Again, I don't recommend it though.

It’s pretty easy.
