Well I got the Mach 460 head unit yanked out today, and put in my new Pioneer 5900ib, along with my Ipod and my Sirius Satellite Pioneer Compatible Tuner.

I used the metra 70-5519, and everything wired up perfectly, and I had no issues, and was able to still use the Mach 460 Amps and Speakers. The sound is killer! The Pioneer unit has way more bass, and treble, and it thumps really good without any subs and amp...can't wait to get those installed, then it will sound really good. I was really impressed with how good it sounded.

Also I've heard some people say there is a popping noise from the amps when you turn the car on, there is no popping noise, so whoever started that rumor, should probably re-check their wiring, or they didn't have an electronic crossover integrated into their new head unit.

I had the old unit out and the new one installed in less than 20 minutes...granted i wired all the harnesses together inside, and to make sure i had good connections, I used heat shrink butt connectors, crimped them, then used a lighter to shrink them around the connection. everything sounds crystal clear.

Have to dynamat the car next week, then the week after I will be putting my JL Audio 500/1 Amp and my brand new pair of 12" Kicker Subs, and then the car should thump really loud.
