Default Mach 460 System help!?

Ok, I recently bought a 96 Mustang gt with the mach system. I found out after I got it that the front woofers and the rear tweeters are gone. I pulled the aftermarket radio to look at the wiring because a speaker would pop. There were bare wires and I noticed that he used an aftermarket harness for the radio to keep the amps. I also noticed that one of the plugs from the amp was plugged in but there are two more behind it that are just laying there? Also from what I understand there are two amps in the rear but I can only find one?

three amps actually. Two in the rear one in the front under the deck. Sounds like they had aftermarket speakers up front and pulled them out. The speaker pop is normal just because the mach system uses a 6v turn on rather then the 12v everyone else uses.

Alright, and I knew about the 3rd amp up front but I'm just finding one in the back...I read somewhere else that the factory amps will only work with 6 ohm speakers? Know where I can order some factory speakers?

as he said 8 ohm. If you already have an aftermarket deck you would be better off going with a set of aftermarket speakers, bypassing the stock amp and powered by the deck. The stock amps are not worth much....

Yeah, I corrected myself...I think I will go with aftermarket speakers, maybe run an amp too. I know how to wire a single amp, but could you give me a run down on how to wire a second amp? Or is it the same?
