Default Mach 460 conversion!

so i decided to do the mach 460 conversion. i bought all the pieces including the rear quarter panels for my vert, the speaker and tweeters for the rear, the front 2 speakers, the front 2 tweeters, the double din cd player, the 2 amps, and the wiring harness for the front doors and the rear and the rear amps speaker wires. all for 130$ + 60 ship.

So as for installing the mach 460 it pretty simple you think it just unplug everything and then replug everything with the new wiring harness. well it sounds simple but it hard. I recommend taking the dash out because of the 2 connectors in the front. but i did't and i have the 2 connected finally. my hands are hurting lol. the rear i am going to do on my lunch at work tonight. so i will let you know how hard it really was.
the only problem i a running into is keeping the tweeters in the doors. it came with a screw but there no place for the screw to go in.

Don't you mean 3 amps? Two in the rear deck, and there is one located behind the deck on the floor.

How does the 460 system compare to an aftermarket system? I know its better than stock but what about my alpine speakers?

Mach 460 is pretty good for stock, but I'd go aftermarket if I was doing an upgrade. A good deck, pair of good highs/mids in the front and a nice sub make a great sound stage.

I have a couple of tweeters for the mach system lying around. I saved them from when I took mine out last year. Let me know if you want them.
