When I upgraded the head unit in the 97, they recommended I install a line level reducer, just to bring the volume to reasonable levels. I had the mach 460 system, but I would guess it is the same deal for the shaker system. Basically, if you install the new head unit without any changes, it will be excessively loud with little control of the volume at low levels. The line level reducer just installs inline with the speaker wires, between the amps and the head unit.

I'd be happy to install it for 100$ too.

just make sure you buy the metra harness :Metra Amplifier Integration Harness - 705519

i had this for my old deck and worked perfectly and had no line level reducer and it sounded fine. but i have a touch screen now and took out the mach 460 and re-wired the speakers and i think it sounds better now especially with an aftermarket sub so that might me something to think about
