Hi mustang people,
This is my first post, here's the deal. My little brother has a 2002 with the mach sound system in it. His cd changer stoped working and he has a door speaker blown. I took out the player and took it apart and saved his cd's. Unplugged the blown speaker also so he could listen to the radio without the crackle of the blown speaker. I post this for this reason, he don't ever ask's for much and I would like to hook him up and suprise him, I've had mustangs in the past and I can wire and build anything reasonable. He said he would like to just through an ipod in there, but I'm lost on the new electronics. I searched a bit and found out how to replace the factory radio with an aftermarket one in a well written arcticle by mes7.
I have an amp and a sub sitting here and I was thinking about removing his rear speakers and moving one of them up front to replace the blown one in the door and adding the sub in the rear along with a ipod? After reading the how to replace the radio arcticle, I'm thinking due to the way the amps run, it may be easier to just rewire the whole car off an aftermarket ipod deck using the reciever power to run the front and adding the amp and sub to the rear. I didn't get a chance to hear this mach system at it's best, I went out to try to get a cd out and was annoyed by the blown door speaker. He never complained about the factory system, should I replace the factory radio and blown speaker? If so how much and where can I get these, or would it be best to just go old school on him and build what I know how to do. And finally what is "throwing an ipod in there? "
Thanks
