    Sound quality questions and help

    If you're still running the factory amp to the rear, you probably have a level mismatch. Meaning the new head unit is putting audio out at a different level than the stock amp. Best bet now, is to bypass that amp...

    Can Mach 460 be wired stand-alone?

    Not without an amp, Unless it's a mach from 01 on, then you could use the tweeter outputs from the deck, but all you will hear is highs...

    Need some DVD bypass help

    The whole key is to send -12v to the parking brake wire AFTER the unit powers up. You could do this manually with a switch, however the relay does this for you. How did you wire in the relay?

    Keep factory speakers or replace with these?

    I would call the mach setup mid-grade, so if you are just trying to replace it with mid grade equipment, it's not worth the effort.

    Mach 460 rear speaker and amp panel

    Yes you can remove and re-mount the equipment. I would recommend using ABS plastic to make the adapters. It will give you 4+ inches of height. However, in my system I kept the Mach box and installed Infinity Kappa 5x7 Components. The sound is great and you dont have to worry about sympathetic...

    6 1/2" component speakers...anyone installed?

    As long as the depth is good, it's not too bad. Just pick up a set of these to adapt the speakers... http://cgi.ebay.com/6x8-5x7-6-Speaker-Adapters-Ford-Pickup-F-Series-/310218810690?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item483a7b6542

    04 mach stereo, side / rear speaker fail

    Start by checking incoming power to the amps, then check the remote turn on lead. You may have lost one or the other.

    Question about a sub woofer hook up

    It's actually not that hard to tap in signal, just find the wires coming out of the amps in your trunk. The ones going to your rear mids and tap the converter in!!!

    3rd Brake Light

    3M makes a plastic headlight resto kit, I've used it and it works awesome!!! Just be sure to take your time and complete all the steps. It's like $20 and all you need is a drill, it comes with all the different abbrasive pads and polish. Walmart is where I got mine.

    Head up if you thinking of changing Mach system

    Did you replace the stock amp and deck? If not, you are not feeding your JL's full range signal. (What they were designed for). I gutted my whole mach system and did Infinity Kappa 5x7 components all around, 5ch amp 10" MTX 7500 and an Eclipse AVN7000 DVD/ Nav. Couldn't be happier!!!

    Radio Install

    Did the 84's come with a "2 knob" radio? I think they might have. If thats the case, you will have to cut the dash to fit the "DIN" sized sterio.

    Subs, Amps, Wiring & Ohms

    Yes, given the ratings of your particular components, that is the correct way to wire it. You would get more power if you had 2 8ohm subs wirred in paralell and bridged your amp. If you try to paralell and bridge with the 4ohm subs, you will over heat your amp.

    Subs for 2000 Convertible

    Some of the better subs are... IMO JL, MTX, Kicker, and some Fosgates. I personally run the mid- high end MTX's (great bang for your buck) and make sure to feed them with plenty of power. 1 10" will give you some bass, the 'verts are harder to get volume out of as a coupe acts more loke an...

    Head Unit with 2 or 4 volt pre-amps/preouts? Which is better for stock Mach 460?

    I would say to go with the 4v. Yes, there is a definate difference between the 2 and 4v outputs. I believe you have the 3 amp setup in the '00s which would mean you could use the 4v to feed the factory amps and just keep an ear out for distortion. If you notice distortion, turn the volume down...
