    Aftermarket Head unit on Mach 460

    If it's an '04, if you're not comfortable going in and splicing wires, I'd hold out a bit.... I *doubt* it'll be a few months. I'd call Metra at 800-253-TECH and see if they have any updated info on when a harness will be available for your car.

    Aftermarket Head unit on Mach 460

    Not quite true - a set of harnesses and an integrator exists through 2003 - in '04, Ford made a harness change that they didn't notify the aftermarket about. Be patient, it'll come. soon.

    Aftermarket Head unit on Mach 460

    The latest is that there was a "silent" harness change from '03 to '04 - Metra is working on a harness, but at this time there isn't one. I suggest waiting a month or two before making a move - maybe one will hit the market soon (Metra "amp integrator" plug for 2004 will be part # 70-5520 i...

    New to Sound Systems- Need advice on how to get started

    I've never heard that one before (bass dropping as volume goes up)- I do know that there is a feature on the Mach460 that will increase the volume as speed increases (or noise increases or something like that), but before I replaced my system, I had just turned that feature off. You *can*...

    normal? Mach460 RDS display freezes

    mine did the same thing on my '03 until i removed it. Some stations were better than others. Some scrolled smoothly, others just froze up. I think it's *not* the radio, but the way that stations have implemented RDS.

    New to Sound Systems- Need advice on how to get started

    Be careful!! You build/buy a box around the subwoofer - you don't just buy a box that fits in your car. Each subwoofer has a set of parameters that determine that subwoofer's response to box volume... Pick a woofer, and then find a box that meets it's specifications *AND* will fit in your...

    sound deadening

    I put 2 layers of second skin damplifier in my trunk/spare well. It really helps keep the music in the car (IOW, it's no where near as noisy outside the vehicle as it was, and the vibration is almost zero) - unfortunately, those 2 layers of damplifier did nothing to quiet the exhaust noise...

    Ok.... You can certainly meet your goal of getting a little more *quality* bass with your stock system. IMHO, there are 2, and only 2 ways to approach it. 1) "good" solution - Infinity BassLink or BassLink-X (same unit - one is black, one is see-through). It isn't cheap ($500 list) +...

    2004 Mach 460 help

    Maybe someone has.... an official 2004 Ford Worshop Manual could help you out. The information is definitely in there - unfortunately, my manual is a 2003... Why does Ford change things in what is supposed to be a carry-over year?

    Wiring an Equalizer Quick Q

    If you're mounting it in the dash, I'd most likely tap into the h/u power - but it depends upon whether you're using just h/u pre-outs, or using the internal h/u amp. It's not much of a current draw ...

    crazy glue?

    crazy glue remover? I don't know what it'd do to the paint, but it will dissolve the crazy glue.
