    Mach 460...Are these the correct speakers in my door?

    The problem with the Mach 460 is the the stock speakers are 8ohm and after market are usually 4ohm. That requires the amps to go to 4ohm and they are not stable at 4ohm. The replacement speakers are drawing too much power from the amp and it will soon overheat and shut off. Why Ford decided to...

    Tweeter question

    Does anyone know what the crossover point of the stock 2.5" speakers are? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I did a little research on the Mach 460. It has three amps. Two for the 5X7 speakers and one in the dash for the 2.5" front and rear speakers. The crossover's are in the amps themselves...

    Lets see your sub/amp set-ups!!!

    I was just trying to show a cheap way to get good sound from the stock audio system, not everyone spends all their money on ICE you know. I guess it all depends on where you priorities are. I'll soon be dropping about $7k on my engine and have 500whp. Speed is at the top of my list, not "sound...

    Lets see your sub/amp set-ups!!!

    Great suggestion! I turned it around and it did sound a little better. Thanks! I'm thinking about getting another one now and putting it on the other side. Damn this bass is addicting! Why is it that one mod always leads to another, then another…etc?

    Lets see your sub/amp set-ups!!!

    Bass on a budget!!! I just finished my sub install this morning and can't believe what a difference it makes to the sound of the Mach 460!! WOW!! I was on a budget so I picked up a used Rockford Fosgate Punch 200s amp (200 watts RMS bridged, 400 watts peak) and paired that with a Bazooka 10"...

    Exhaust Leak Can't seem to fix.

    Are you absolutely sure that's where it's leaking? Exhaust leaks are about the most annoying thing in the world but they are also deceiving. I was SURE my EGR connection was leaking and it turned out to be a loose bolt on my header.

    exhaust MOST HP

    You say you want it loud, but be careful what you ask for. I have Flowtech LT's, O/R X-Pipe and SLP LoudMouth 1's. When I had my stock manifolds and a pro-chamber is was pretty loud. But when I went to LT's and the X-Pipe it is so damn loud I try not to floor it around the cemeteries in my area...

    Cleaning and protecting convertible top

    What about some kind of UV protectant? Maybe something that could darken it a little? My brother has a 99 Cobra that he was just asking me about this the other day. You would think that there must be something out there to protect it after you clean it...

    What do you think of MOTIVE Gears?

    I haven't heard of one of those. We used one identical to that one and it worked just fine. Good luck on your install! Gears will put a smile on your face ten miles wide!! Enjoy!

    What do you think of MOTIVE Gears?

    Yeah we used one. My brother got it from his lab I believe (he has a PhD in physics - he has all kinds of cool stuff) But you can find one online and they are cheap. Here is one from Summit Racing for $26. I hope your install goes well. I remember banging on my stock pinion gear for about an...

    What do you think of MOTIVE Gears?

    I have Motive 4.10's and I love them. I did the install with my brother, neither of us had done a gear install and they fit great with no whine. I beat on them all the time!!!:D

    About to purchase cams

    Are VT stage II's still on back order? I heard they are hard to come by.

    Long Tube Install

    Yeah, I've got mine sitting in my living room and every time I look at them it sends a chill down my spine thinking about the install. But the gains are worth it. I'll have them on by the end of the month. Good luck on your install!!!!

    New Lower Intake

    On a basically stock GT you won't see anywhere near that number. That car had cams, heads, AND headers. All of which can take advantage of the extra flow characteristics of the manifold. I've got LT's waiting to be installed and will put in stage II cams this summer. I can't wait for a good...

    would this combo work for 600rwhp?

    Not true. I have a friend with a 700hp 04' Cobra with 31 splines with no problems at all. 31 would be more than enough for this set up. But 600whp will require a LOT more boost than a non-I/C S/C setup could provide. Spend some more money and get a twin-screw KB with an intercooler and run about...

    Raptor Shift light install with pics/video

    Make sure you set it for "1" cylinder and not "8". I didn't read the instructions close enough the first time and set it for "8" and it just flashed all the time. Set the 1, 2, and 3 switches down.

    Raptor Shift light install with pics/video

    Believe me, even in a vent you would have no trouble seeing it. The red is the brightest BTW. I could put mine in the back seat and still see it :D Led intensity: Blue: 2000 mcd per LED, for a total intensity of 14,000 mcd Ultra Bright Red: 3000 mcd per LED, for a total intensity of...
