Glad you enjoyed it

Just happened across your video, wondering if you was a amateur radio channel, or what. I see a couple of videos, mostly other.... anyways not a bad, and simple setup. With newer trucks and auto's it's getting harder to mount stuff in the units we drive. There are only a few radio mounting companies out there to find the stuff we need to mount are items. 👍on your installation

Hello, it’s not an amateur channel yet. I may take it in that direction in the future. Thanks for the comment.

I’m not an amateur channel. Just sharing what I did so others have options.

Looks great! Does your mic cable just go under the carpet? Or do you go through the console?

It runs under the seat, under the carpet all the way to behind the rear seats and then up into the box

Nice job

How is the speaker in the head? I'm wonding if it would be good on the dash of a Jeep Wrangler? I can't hear my FTM300 going down the road with the top and doors off. It's either add an external speaker or try a 500

The speaker in the head is great. It loud and clear. Not an amazing speaker but it is really good. I can hear mine with the windows down

Have you noticed any interference with running the power wire next to the antenna wire into the cab? I've had issues with doing similar runs for speaker cables and was curious if this happens with your HAM radio as well.

I have not noticed any interference at all.

Chris, what is the power cable hooked to in the engine bay? Upfitter switch wiring or direct to battery? I have same truck and would like to copy same install...so clean! I was thinking of wiring to Aux1 upfitter switch which is 15 amp relay...should be enough for tx on 50W.

It’s hooked directly to the battery. I thought about the upfitter but didn’t want to overload those thin wires ford installed in it. So I ran it directly to the battery

@@christaylor9151 Good deal, thanks. I went to the battery direct for the install also. I still can't figure how to get the mic cord under the carpet, but I did the exact same install/parts as you. I've had several HAM's see and ask about the setup and parts used......clean! Thanks man!

To get under the carpet I used a coat hanger. I ran it from under the drivers seat (opening for the electrical from the factory) to under the back seat. That is what took me the longest for the installation process.

Why did you record vertically like a savage?
