Default MACH 460 Problem

I purchased a 2003 GT in October of 2007 and when I bought it, the Mach 460 deck wasn't in it. I just assumed that someone had pulled the Mach 460 sound system and sold it separately and that was why it was missing. Not long afterward I purchased the Mach 460 deck and rear sound bar complete with the amps. I was going to install it yesterday and was faced with a problem: The rear sound bar plugs will not fit into the back of the Mach 460 deck as the holes on the male end of the sound bar connection are much too big and the plug too wide to fit in the Mach 460 female hole.

Is there some sort of converter/pig tail that I'm missing? I'm rather pissed off now because I realize the Mach 460 system wasn't in fact pulled but the car was purchased from the dealer without the system in the first place and if I can't get this to work then I pissed away $150 on something that's completely worthless to me.

Any suggestions/input would be greatly appreciated.

do you have the door mounted tweeters? either way you should have bought an aftermarket deck, the 460 is not that good, the speakers are alright though

No, I don't have the door tweeters but I was going to buy those next. However, if I can't even figure out how to get the damned sound bar/amps hooked up then why bother? I really need to know how to wire this thing up or if I've just pissed away cash that could've been spent elsewhere.

the problem is that you bought a mach 460 sound system. If you were wanting the stock system and gonna spent that much money but a mach 1000 if not then spend that money on an aftermarket system.
