I have a 2000 Mustang coupe, with the Mach 460 sound system, but my cd player and door speakers are going bad.

1.) I have the option to by a sony Xplod CD player for a good deal, 2 years old and only 40 bux. How hard will it be to replace the factory cd player?

2.) I also have a chance to purchase 2 door speakers, 5x7 Explods, for 30 bux that were in a Ford Escape. Will those fit in my Mustang?

Thanks in advance for the info.

 

the cd player is an easy swap, I cover installation on page 2 of my cardomain page. The factory woofers will be more difficult to replace because while they are a standard size(5 x 7)they are a non-standard impedence(8 ohm). If you slap in a standard 4 ohm speaker the factory amp will not be happy. Since you are replacing the deck you can bypass the factory amp and run the new 4 ohm speaker off of the sony deck. You will need to take the signal that is going to the tweeters in the doors and put that to the new speaker.

 

Thanks man.
