Are their additional inputs on the stock 460 sound system like line input, or USB possibly on the back of the CD or head unit? Ford says yes.

My first car was a 94 ford mustang. I put twin 12" subs pushing 1200 watts. Amazing.

Old video but I have a question u seem like a pro. I bought my car with a Rockford amp an speakers in trunk I sold the speakers but left the amp because without my radio wouldn’t work. Well think heat has killed the amp now an I’ve got no sound so curious how can I just ditch the amp an run everything as normal ?

I heard a ahh ahh from a dog😂😂😂

Maybe show the rubber grommet?

I gave you a T. up, start forward to the pointe. Great job!

I wasn't aware there was a harness that allowed for a direct connection to a Mach 460 system. Those systems are typically a nightmare for installers due to the strange wiring of the speakers. Usually have to change everything out all at once. Having a harness that will allow you to integrate an aftermarket head unit into the Mach 460 system is refreshing.

@@carsandhobbies I'm currently working on mine, and I'm actually ADDING the Mach 460 box a car that doesn't have it. I've had so many people ask me why! I think I can use the old tweeter holes as ports to extend the bass response of the rear coaxials. I'm hoping I can figure out a port design that won't have a lot of chuffing. My goal is to get usable frequency response down to at least 60Hz from them. I'm still trying to figure out the logistics of installing an "under seat" subwoofer into the center part of that box, including how to keep vibrations down. I think it's going to take a bit more than the typical sound treatment with that sub mounted so close to the rear deck. I'm not looking for a lot of bump, just decent full range sound from 30 - 20K Hz.

Hey good install.....just so you know, your sub/amp combo is actually designed for under seat placement if I saw it correctly. A few points. Your neg car batt connection was rusty and should be replaced or cleaned to metal. Where you did the amp ground, clean with wire brush then tighten down grnd wire and give ut a spray paint coat or two. Lastly, you should find some of that black cloth tape and wrap the head unit wires up to keep them from possible shorts.

Thanks for watching, yeah that sub is gone now I have a proper subwoofer for the trunk which I'll be showing in a upcoming video. Yes I agree, I just ended up replacing the negative battery terminal because it was so bad that the car wouldn't start sometimes. I grounded the amp to a bolt on the trunk I scraped off the paint with a flat head screw driver which is what other mustang people had suggested todo. Good idea I'll wrap up some of the wires! Again I'm not claiming to be an expert on this stuff, I was just trying to give people a general idea of how to get a functioning head unit in one of these cars.

Hey great install man. A few tips man. That power wire hangs out of the fuse holder just a tad too much. Make sure to secure your fuse holder

Good post! I have a 2000 GT with premium sound, although not Mach. I have the 70-5510 and only getting sound out of one side and the front sound much louder than the rear. Also, I saw another video where the guy said to connect the blue/white wires together, then the solid blue wires together, but I only have a solid blue on the Metra adapter not the head unit wiring harness. Any help would be awesome!

So you have a 99, did you have to interact with the amp behind the radio? I’ve got my mach 1000 amp rack and subs wired up but trying to get the pioneer wired up. It seems i have a dealer option pioneer 6 disc cd player wired in there so my wiring is all weird. I can’t find constant 12v unless it’s coming in through the amp in the back

I see that you had since swapped out your Sound Ordnance subwoofer for a JBL. What did you think of the Sound Ordnance, even though it was installed in the trunk instead of under the seat?

It was ok, I could still feel it from the trunk , I couldn't put it under the seat because of the way the power seat is. The jbl is significantly better tho.

If you run the low level RCA cables a power sensor wire (blue) will need to be ran. If you use the high level inputs (speaker wires) then the blue wire is not needed. Hope this helps.
