Just got back from our honeymoon and now getting around to getting caught up on mods. I currently have the MXT275 mounted inside of my center console, but I highly doubt the MXT575 will fit in there. The 575 dwarfs the 275 for obvious reasons. Just curious if anyone else has the MXT575 for their Bronco and what ideas they have for a mounting location?

I'll verify fitment in the console and glove box as viable options or not. Otherwise, I'll see if there is enough area under the driver's side dash. Last resort is on the side of the center console (just not as clean as a look IMO).

This is pretty sweet set up. Others in the forum if you search MXT575.

Yes, I've contributed to that thread, but it is mostly about the MXT275, not the MXT 575. I already have the 275 installed and did a YouTube video on it. I searched MXT575 in the forums, but don't see where anyone has actually installed one yet or mention how they plan to install it since it is over twice the size of the 275 model.

Just received my MX575 last week. It's huge compared to the 275. I'll have to wait until my WT gets delivered to look more closely, but even in the 96, that 575 was NOT going to fit behind the dash (there was plenty of room for the 275 though).

I was able to fit it above the glovebox, its tight but it fits. I'm waiting to get a proper mounting pate then I'kll take some pics
Can't wait to see it. I went out and looked at it today and the center console is definitely a no-go. I'm debating the area you are referring to or trying to stick it on the passenger side of the console via velcro. Not the clean look I was hoping for, but not sure about drilling into the outside of the console yet.

Here is where I mounted mine and it fit perfect. Almost like the demensions were made for this unit and the cat5 port fully accessible. I just used some double sided tape as I was not sure if I liked it when I stuck it there. I still need to route everything and zip tie.

I ended up on the passenger side of the console for now. Hope to finish wiring it over the weekend. Not the cleanest look, but I couldn't find anything above the glove box I felt comfortable with.

I finally got back to this today. I ended up making a plate from some scrap metal. 3.5" x 9.5" w/ 2 1/4" holes to mount to the rails above the glove box. sorry, no pics of it installed, since you really cant see anything anyway.

ok this turned out way better than I expected so I had to share. I'm mounting the remote cat5 connector near the window switches. The other dial there is for my sub-amp.

How come no one mounts these behind the rear side panels and run a cat 5 port back up to the front? Can fit a small human behind them panels.

Mounted my 575 up under passenger dash. Drilled a couple of holes in a metal shelf/shield and mounted the bracket. Easy access to plug mic in and speaker is down firing into the footwell. Have both speakers active, mic and base, plenty of volume.
