Install Help
-
i could always use more help CMK, anything that reduces my chances of blowing something up is always good.

Pretty sure he went with an install kit. Rewiring the car would have (likely) involved making new high pass x-overs for his tweeters as I think they are crossed over at the amp (could be wrong there, but it would make sense) and I don't think he wanted to go through the process of designing/building a new x-over system.

We ended up using the Metra 70-1770 which bypassed the amps completely. That utilizes only the tweeters for the front of the car, and no signal is sent to the door speakers (subwoofers as the mach460 wiring diagram calls them). To compensate for the loss of those we hooked up the crappy free system i got and it works great. Dont know why but before when we hooked it up the amp went into protection in both mine and my friends cars when we hooked it up, then my dad (oh mighty electrician of the family lol) did it and it works...go figure!? Anyways it sounds great now compared to before so im happy. Now ill just have to save up some $$$ and maybe take you up on your offer w/ the coaxial speakers and stuff for the future Tjamz
Thanks for your help guys. I should make a picture install guide to do that because ive YET to find a clear cut install guide w/ the mach 460 system.EDIT: it also goes to show how much of a difference it makes to sit back and take a look at things for a little bit and read through the instructions (and have a very good knowledge in electrical stuff like my dad does). Now that i look back on it..its obvious that this was the way to do it, but when i first started you coulda held a gun to my head and said "you have 10 min to figure it out" and i woulda died that day. My dad made it sound like rewiring the car would be no big deal, in fact, i had to convince him to not do his thing and splice into here and cut there and so on in order to get the 3 stock amps to work again as well haha. Oh well, good thing he's in the family.

even though I had to cut every one of those lol, ill show them anyways....
