If you need more bass, why not tap the leads going to your sub(if you have one in the Mach 1000...I don't know because I don't have it) and run them to a more powerful amplifier?

"If" your amp has speaker level inputs (accepts the connection from the speaker wires, not RCA connectors):

1 Disconnect the rear speaker wires from the speakers. Tap into them using a T-Tap (ask any stereo store for some...they're usually free)

2 Run the wires from the T-Tap to the amp

3 Run the output from the amp to the subs (make sure you're using a crossover)

Another way...

1 Disconnect Rear speakers

2 Run the wires to crossovers

3 Run Low output from crossover to amp's speaker level inputs

4 Run the Mid-high output from crossover to the factory rear speakers

is it too late to get the mach1000 installed once you bought your stang with the mach460? i sense a void in my sound system in the car. i really wish i bought the 1000 now.

aftermarket systems (both quality and well... quality is the biggest and most important aspect) are better than any stock system 1000 or 460 or 10000000000000000000000000.....

A voided stereo system warranty is like a voided music cd warranty... yup... you used it... yup you wanted something else... yup you replaced it... ok, now you have a warranty from the comapny that makes the system that you're using now.

Installing a much better aftermarket system will cost less and sound better than having a 1000 installed.
