Ok..I've read through all of this on SN for a few days now..

I am installng a JVC KW-AVX810 Unit.. The HU itself has a High and Low pass x-over built in. My Biggest question is this now..

My Sub Preout is a single RCA female connector.. The Metra Kit has 2 Male RCA connectors (which I understand go out to 2 different amps in the facotry system) So, should I be using a Y Cable to spilt off the SUB output signal into both connectors to send it on it's way to both amps or does using a Y connector screw up the voltage load or someting..

Anyone got the answer for this ??

A Y connector is the only way to do that being one amp runs the right and one runs the left. I am confused on what the tweeters and subs are crossed over at. I know from my other stereos that crossing over a tweeter at 170hz should blow them. In my active crossover system the tweeters are around 2000hz mids run from 100hz to 2000hz and the subs 80 and down. Sounds to me like the mach system is losing a lot of frequency's. I am going to install my active deck(Alpine 9835) and running the tweeters off the high outputs and the subs on the mid outputs and I can cross them over at almost and point and vary the slopes.

just replaced my 2001 mach 460 6 disc in-dash stereo cuz the discs kept sticking and it finally pissed me off enough to punch the damn thing. needless to say, the plastic display is not very sturdy. once i found the right stereo plug ins, replacement was a breeze thanks to some helpful info i got here.

Hey Guys,
Sorry for bringing back an old post, but it should probally go hear anyway. I was just wondering if someone could answer my questions about a certain head unit and if it is compatible. The Head Unit is a Jensen VM9022, which is a double din and i was just wondering if it would fit in my mustang 01' with the mach 460. Thanks!
Kevin

To revive an old post again...

I am trying to install a Mach 460 Hu from a 2001 GT in my 93. I have the entire interior save door panels and rear trim, in my 93 coupe from a 2001 GT. I want the stock radio in there but dont want all the hasseld with the factory amps. I am going to run an aftermarket 2 channel amp to run the midbass and a single channel to run subs. I need a factory wiring diagram that lists the colors of the stock harness in relation to what wire does what. If anyone has that, that would be awesome.

Nevermind.... I got it all working. Lot's simpler when you swap the entire harness....
