Per the directions the wire going to to the battery installs along the factory wiring/gas line (at least I think some of it was gas line haha - it had heat shield on it) it comes out very clean and plenty protected enough in my opinion. I did use stainless steel cable ties at the heat shield part just for good measure. I figure if the factory put the heat shield material there then I don't want a plastic zip tie gettting fried. I tucked the trailer wire up on top and kind of behind the heat shield the best i could and then used the metal cable ties to snug it up. (the cable ties are from home depot in the electric section) This is part of the reason that I added more wire snake skin (or wire loom depending on what you call it) In the middle. They did such a nice job putting the wire loom on everything but left the middle exposed. Not sure why so I added more so the entire thing was covered. This long winded explanation will make sense once you do it. Basically I just followed the directions (which they were very good in my opinion) I just added a little extra zip ties, etc. here and there to make it extra safe and as neat as possible. It's not a bad install so have fun with it! (Full disclosure I do have a two post lift at home so I am cheating haha!)I've already installed the Curt Class III hitch, and have the Quadratec harness in my To Do box. Concerning the CANBUS wire run from the rear of the vehicle to the battery, were you able to tuck it into or along the frame rail in order to provide some degree of protection? And how/why was the wire loom addition needed? TIA.
The adapters are more expensive than the speakers. Interesting.
I've the Infinity Reference 3032s on the dashboard. They provide a remarkable improvement in sound quality. I may have to do the same with the 6532s in the soundbar.
