ok guys i along with many others want to know exactly what to do with this damn 460 system... heres the list of what i have (1) Alpine CDA-9813 head unit (4) Pioneer TS-D680R 6"x8" (1) Kicker Solo-Baric L7 04S12L7 subwoofer (1) Kicker 600.1 KX amp it should be for a good system, and i do plan on getting a kicker 600.4 in the near future for the speakers but lets forget that for now.... basicley my question is will someone post a tutorial with pictures and everything on how to install this system including *how to pull out the stock mach 460 head unit *how to hook up the new wires for it *where the wires all are in the car for speakers (so i can run new ones) thats basicley all i need to know to be on my way for a successful install because ive already done this to my previous 96 mustang my last question is how will the tweeters in the system affect the power going to my front speakers? will it take away half the power from my speakers? is there any way to leave just the amp connected to the tweeters and if so is it worth it or will it be too loud? ive done a serach for all this on stangnet and google but have found nothing thanks in advance for all the help
If you want my honest opinion, just wait until you buy the four channel amp and save yourself the headache. TRUST ME! Its zero fun building your whole system just the way you want it, then getting new equipment and tearing the whole thing apart. I saved up and purchased things one at a time, and for a long time (okay not that long 3 months) I drove around with 2 stock speakers in the front doors and the stock head unit. I waited until I had all of my equipment purchased. It sounds like you are for sure going to buy the 4 channel in the future, if thats the case, just get it as soon as you can afford it and then wire everything all at once. Its just smarter this way because you will only have to take the door panels off once, you will only have to pull up the carpet once, and you will only have to pull out the head unit once. If you install the components you have right now and then install a 4 channel later, you are just creating a lot more work for yourself. Just my $0.02, I am just telling you because I have done it both ways, and I know its better just to stockpile your equipment until you have EVERYTHING you intend on purchasing in your possession. If you dont want to listen to my suggestion above, then I can at least give you a few pointers. If the stock head unit has the regular old 2 holes on each side, then just cut a wire hanger, and bend it so that it will fit in the holes, then just pull out, it will come with a little "coaxing." You can see the one I made here...http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/4/web/484000-484999/484771_58_full.jpg When you pull out the head unit, everything is color coded, so just match colors, like we all did in 1st grade and you are good to go. Dont worry about where the old wires are, you dont need to mess with that until you get the 4 channel. If you get the 4 channel, just run the new wires under the carpet and through the door panel (thats the tricky part). I dont really know how the tweeters will be affected, but my suggestion would be to just pull em. Take them out, because your system may have too much high frequency in it if you have aftermarket 2 ways (or 3 ways) in the doors, and stock tweeters, which will not sound good. If you have any other questions, just ask.
