I have a 1999 mustang Gt with the mach 460 sound system. I want to take out the stock casset player and the cd player and replace it with an Alpine head hunit i have. how would i wire this up in order for the setup to sound right?

 

Buy the Metra Wiring Harness - 70-5511 and use the wires to make your connections. You will probably want to solder in a 1KOhm resistor to the Blue (Solid) wire to keep the amp from popping when you turn it on. Make Good Connections, tape it all up (Or use Heat Shrink tubing) and plug it in. Should be just fine.

 

If you are eliminating the CD Changer (You will probably have to), you will need a kit to fill the hole. I think Scosche makes one. FM2157B. Replacement pocket for Ford

 

will this wiring harness run all the speakers and subwoofers?

 

Mine did. Since the harness populates all of the pins in the connector, it has to be providing signal to all of the speakers.

 

i heard something about wiring up some rca jacks or something to the little black connector

 

page 2 of my signature shows how I did it on my 94. I made it a little harder then it had to be but this way allows me to control the factory subs with the variable sub output on the deck, and really sounds good to be honest.

 

thanx for everyone's help. i'll post the outcome and share my thoughts

 

www.bestkits.com They have a harness (BHA5511R)that hass RCA's on it instead of speaker level. When you run speaker level into the Mach 460 Amps it is usually to hot so you have very little control over the volume. If you go RCA it is a low level signal closer to what the Amps are designed to take.

 

I still needed a line driver to boost my rca signal up to where it sounded good.
