Went to diff best buys till one tech was firmiliar with Mustangs/460 units. It sounds ok..i probly would have just left it stock but i turned the sub up and played with the radio till it sounded good. Check this out Mustangworld Subwoofer install to Mach460 I have a sony explode head unit and a Infinty self powerd sub dont ask me how the guy actually did the install i can take pictures of it in there if that will help you. __________________ Fire it up, burn it down.

Does the headunit have a subwoofer out? The stereo will install easily. All you need is a wiring harness. If you have a headunit with subwoofer outputs it is a piece of cake. If not, you can tap into the rear speakers. __________________ Bassani Crew Member #1 Better to be judged by 12 then carried by six.

best buy sells 2 harnesses, one for the stock system, one for the upgraded one, both the same price, i had a mach 460 in my 94mustang and they just have to give you the right harness or the stock amps wont come on

I had a friend who tried to install a system with his car. He ending up various problems from no dome light, no dash lights, ect. In the end he ended up buying the silly harness anyway and now it works pretty good.

PowerShiftz02GT Hardcore Enthusiast 2002 Mustang GT Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Michigan Posts: 1,352	didn't read all the posts, but from what i understand all you need is a aftermarket headunit, a new wiring harness that connects to your new headunit and converts the wires to your stock wiring harness. and then your subs will plug right in. its not no 150.00. when you buy the aftermarket headunit they will tell you what harness you need etc. I did a line out converter so i was able to keep my stock headunit. I had circuit city install it for me for 30.00. they did a good job. __________________ -5-Speed -BBK CAI -UD Pulleys -BBK 70MM TB -Mac O/R H pipe -Trick Flow Plenum -Yokohama AVS ES100 Tires -UPR Blue Thunder Short Throw -Magnaflow Magnapack Catback
