Exclamation Mach 460 question/Advice

My car currently has NO RADIO!!!

I'm about to hook it back up and i just purchased the stock Mach 460 Rear speaker box with everything needed (4 speakers, 2 amps, and wires for rear box).

My question is... If I'm hooking up an after market KENWOOD Headunit and i have to REWIRE EVERYTHING Already, should i just install all new speakers and forget the MACH 460 or Just rewire my Kenwood to the Mach.

Note: I am going to have to rewire everything from the headunit back (old owner did a number on the car...)

Thanks.

If I were you, I wouldn't even mess with the mach system AT ALL. It's not worth the headache, for the sound you are going to get. I would get some nice 5X7's all around(head unit is ok, but seperate amp would be better), maybe a single sub, or two if you want MORE BASS. GL

the mach stereo systems are junk,

IMO a ideal setup

headunit either pioneer, panasonic, eclipse, alpine or kenwood
speakers: MB quarts, boston acoustics, polk audio'
amp: profile (no otherchoices, they are cheap, reliable, and put out the rated power
subs: depends on a few things but i like MTX subs

Yeah i forgot to mention, I'm familiar with after market systems. At my house right now i have... 2-12" MTX subs in a box, About 4 amps Laying around, Kenwood Headunit, and 2-6" MTX Speakers. So, I think you guys have a good point and I'm probably going:

Kenwood Headunit
350 watt Fosgate Amp for speakers
2-12" MTX Subs
2-6" MTX Speakers
2200 Watt Empire Amp.

All just laying around so the only cost is REWIRING the new speakers/Amp
I can do the subs, just not familiar with the headunit rewire.

THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE GUYS
