Default Wire Runs

For anyone that has run wires from the factory amp to the back wall...How difficult is it? I've got to pull the center console to get at the amp. From there I've got to cut wires and run wires to the back wall, where they'll input into a processor. Processor into 4-channel and mono block, etc.

I don't believe I'll have to pull the head unit for this install and I had a peek up under the driver's side dashboard. I'm wondering where to run the wires before they get to the channel along the driver's side to the back.

BTW, 2012 Screw w/nav

You have the Sony system? If so, I don't know crap about it. Amp under center console?

I don't have the Sony... 6 CD basic system.

I ran a 18-guage 9 wire from the HU to the rear wall. Into Processor (which is overkill for my HU (summing wasn't needed)) then into Amps, and then out to speaker wires I ran. I didn't use OEM wires for speakers.

If you look up my build, you'll see what I did. (https://www.f150forum.com/f30/2011-f...nstall-157038/)

Yeah, I have the Sony system. It's just a matter of getting all those wires over to that door channel.

Nice job on your build, BTW. That looks like there's a lot of good info in that thread.

It's not hard at all to get to behind the HU. Running from the back wall, up the side and over to the HU is slightly time consuming, but not difficult.
