    That MGW shifter is QUIET!!!

    As an acoustician I'm pretty sensitive to what I hear and don't hear so imagine my surprise when I hear the MGW transmitting LESS NOISE from the transmission into the interior than the stock shifter! God, I love it! :banana:

    Some vital info about your Mach 460/1000

    Diesel, you can blow any speaker if you drive it too hard. The problem occurs when you're driving aftermarket speakers with the factory amps. The factory woofers are 6 ohms and aftermarket drivers are normally 4 ohms. Less ohmage means more current must be supplied by the amp. In the case of...

    Some vital info about your Mach 460/1000

    FalconGuy, Yeah, you can't just change out the speakers. That's a huge no-no. The Mach 460 has its own crossover built into the head unit that divides the frequency spectrum to suit the speakers already in the system. After connecting my new speakers (before putting in the crossovers and...

    Some vital info about your Mach 460/1000

    TenaciousD, since I was replacing the entire system I couldn't use any harness. I just snipped off the proprietary connectors in the dash and snap-connected the wires to the head unit's harness. These connectors work really nicely...

    Some vital info about your Mach 460/1000

    I spent the last two weekends replacing the stereo system in my Mustang (most of that time was spent making the custom mounts for the tweeters and the DDX7015 head unit). I'm an acoustician/physicist/electrical engineer by trade and a serious audiophile and let me tell you, the Mach 460 isn't...

    Pics of speakers inside door

    Those speakers look awful. It's hard to believe that Ford would put that POS in their newest Mustang. I had similar speakers in my Explorer which when I changed them out with Infinity's and replaced the new head unit sounded 1000x better. I just changed out my Mach 460 speakers with...

    Kenwood DDX7015 install -- HELP!!!

    No, the stock head unit is double DIN and so is the DDX7015. It fits in there just fine. It's just that the mount and frame need to be custom fitted. Argh. I may just take it to a car stereo shop and have it installed. I wired all the speakers and such myself.

    Kenwood DDX7015 install -- HELP!!!

    Has anyone here installed this unit in their Mustang? I'm installing one right now in my Stang and it's not fitting so good. Anyone have any pointers? Do I have to take it to a custom shop to get it fitted? Thanks.

    Just lowered my car

    Just lowered my car yesterday afternoon using the Eibach Pro Kit (for convertibles). It took me and a mechanic a couple hours. I thought he would be the one helping me but it turned out that I helped him do it. :rolleyes: Anyway, admittedly, I installed this kit just for looks (that jeep...

    Convertible Leaks when Washing..... Any Help Appreciated

    It's a fact of life with the Mustangs. I took the Stang to a car wash a couple times after I bought the car (brushless car wash) and the water would find its way inside exactly where you mention (where the little triangle window meets the door window near the top). It happens when the spray is...

    Sounds good. Now you got ME thinking about gears. :rolleyes: How long did it take to change them out? And how hard is it?

    Projector headlights?

    What kind of bulbs do the projectors use? The same as the stock headlights?

    Projector headlights?

    It's not so much the light output as it is the yellow reflectors on the sides. I can do without the yellow.

    Tilting headrest - wtf?

    The car was traded between dealers. It had just come off a truck at the other dealer. Technically I paid for the car indicated by the VIN, not what was in front of me when I picked up the car. I'm waiting for the service manager to call me back. Goddam, what a pisser!

    Tilting headrest - wtf?

    So I go to order a couple of 4-way headrests. I call up genuine-ford-parts and the salesman asks for my VIN which I give to him. Well, it turns out that my car was supposed to have come with the 4-way headrests. Someone had switched them out before I got the car! WTF! :mad: I'm trying...

    Tilting headrest

    Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone knew the part number for the tilting headrest for the GT. I think it's time I replace those things on my front seats that Ford calls headrests. They're so lame!
