you dont have to re-do everything. theres an amp integrated adapter you can buy to make everything work with an aftermarket stereo. i forget whats its called but if you go to a best buy or circuit city they should know what it is. if you where planning to rewire everything anyways then your best bet is to get a nice 4 channel anp and some nice components front and back. and for a little more bass you can throw a sub in there too. unfortunately that might cost a bit.

RE: Aftermarket Stereo?
Hey man I put a Pioneer Touchscreen Dvd head unit in my 00' GT. I didn't use any of the stock amps. I bypassed them, ran new speaker wire to all the stock speakers in my car. I also put in subs, it doesn't sound to bad right nowbut I plan on putting in a component set of speakers and changing all the stock speakers.. Its not that hard ...but if you change the stock speakers the system will sound alot better.

RE: Aftermarket Stereo?
the head unit is the determing factor for people system that sound like a$$ with stock speakers....
but nobody is going to argue that stock is nearly as good as aftermarket - im just saying that with the right eq - a stock system (mach 1000) can sound pretty dayum good.

While we are on the subject, where/can I get tweeters that are in the mirror area inside the door that you get w/Mach system. I DO NOT have a Mach system but would like to put tweeters up there.

RE: Aftermarket Stereo?
With a mach 460 you don't have to replace everything to change stuff, but there is a crap load of wires to go through.. its alot more complicated than normal. People probably just say this because they can't figure it out.
I had 4 8 inch kicker squares in my trunk with a pioneer dehp8400. This was before I realized they were too dam loud. Plus all 4 speakers weighed in at a little over 160 pounds. Car ran almost a half second slower at the track with them in.
