    Gutting the Mach 460 in a 2003

    Could you clarify something on the four pairs of speaker wires? The way you instructed me to route the wires, four pairs connect at the Metra harness and are run to the trunk where they connect to the 4-channel amp. The respective RCA cable is also connected to that amp. I'm confused...

    Gutting the Mach 460 in a 2003

    Hey guys, This weekend I'll be attempting the install of my new sound system. I have a 2003 GT with the Mach 460 and I'll be removing it completely. I'll be replacing it with a Pioneer Avic D3x h/u, 6.5" Infinity Kappa components in the doors, 6x8" Infinity Kappas in the rear deck. The...

    P1151, P1131 DTC's - Someone must have an answer!

    Hey guys, I bought my 03 GT last summer and it came with BBK long tubes which I believe are the source of the problem. The CEL came on 2 weeks after I bought the car and I had to bring it back to the dealership about 5 times because each time they said they fixed it, it came back. The...

    2003 GT - 12 mpg?

    Sorry forgot there's 373's in there too. I bought the car last summer, had 30K on it and all the mods already done. One I picked it up, I put new plugs in, cleaned and oiled the filter, new oil/filter, and new fuel filter (FRAM because I didn't learn that they were crap until now). I had all...

    Last Minute Questions before Mach 460 Swap Out

    I'll be running a 4 Channel Alpine F450 amp for the speakers and a mono MTX TA4252 for the sub. The only reason I wanted to take out the deck is b/c I have a MTX Sledgehammer box lying around with the T5510 sub from my other car. I really liked that sub and was pretty dissappointed when I found...

    Last Minute Questions before Mach 460 Swap Out

    So it still stands that you can't just drop in new speakers due to the impedance difference of aftermarket speakers and the Mach system

    Last Minute Questions before Mach 460 Swap Out

    Here's my take on the 460: I really like the system, don't get me wrong, but it sounds like I may have blown either the door speaker or the tweeter on the passenger side. It rattles a bit when there's strong bass. As far as I know, you can't simply replace one of the speakers unless you plan to...

    Last Minute Questions before Mach 460 Swap Out

    Hey Guys, I'm going to be pulling out the Mach 460 completely this weekend and I have a few last minute questions before I get down to it. First, if I'm going with a brand new head unit, new speakers, and 4-channel amp do I need any type of wiring harness or is it all direct wiring? If so...

    Installing Pioneer Avic D3, speakers? Factory Amps?

    Red2000GT: So you say its not difficult to put tweeters in the factory locations? Well that's a relief. It's not a direct mount, right? What should I do about an adapter plate? 03TrueBlue: First off, nice car. I have the exact same one! I was thinking this: tear out the Mach completely...

    Installing Pioneer Avic D3, speakers? Factory Amps?

    So you're saying go with new speakers and by-pass the factory amps? This would entail rewiring the whole car and adding a 4-channel amp to power them, correct? As I understand it now, with components, the woofer handles the low frequencies and the tweeter the highs. So if you get a component...

    Installing Pioneer Avic D3, speakers? Factory Amps?

    I have a 2003 GT and I just purchased a Pioneer Avic D3x HU w/ navigation, ipod, bluetooth, dvd, the whole nine yards. From what I've read, replacing the components of the Mach system is a real pain in the a--. I am also considering replacing the speakers as well if this will make installation...

    2003 GT with P1131/P1151 DTC's. Help!

    Hey everyone! I bought a 2003 GT last summer and I've had recurring problems with DTC codes that I can't seem to fix. The car has been in and out of the tuner shop several times and yet my check engine light is back on again! The car has a BBK CAI, BBK long-tube headers, and looks to have a...

    P0430, then P0153

    So the car went in for the second time last week. Dealer held on to it for a couple of days because "he had to order a part." I got there to pick it up this weekend and he said they replaced the same sensor that they originally placed two weeks ago: "We must have put a bad sensor in." I think...

    P0430, then P0153

    I just bought an '03 GT a few weeks ago, and last week I had a CEL with a P0430 code. The dealer replaced two sensors ( I know there's 4), most likely the two up before the cats. Five days later, I get another CEL with a P0153 code. I know what the code means, but what should be done to fix...
