Dash pics

[mustang70]

I was wondering if someone could post a pic or two of the radio area in the dash. I have the Mach 460 system, but the PO put in an aftermarket head unit. So I have a big hole right above the shifter and was wondering what goes there. Also, the speakers in my package tray don't work so I have no bass. Is there something in the dash I should check?

And on a side note, is there a website that has all the specs on my car? Horsepower, fluid capacities, etc. I haven't had a chance to buy an owners manual and shop manual yet. And these are just some things I'd like to look up. Thanks.

The hole right above the shifter was the factory cd player. I just made a plastic panel for that hole to cover it up it looks factory.

Would that CD player being gone affect the package tray speakers? I've noticed a plug in the dash that probably should be connected to something.

PM SC450 (sp?) and ask him for pics. he has a very interesting setup that I am going to go with.

The speakers might not work, because of the way they hooked up the after market stereo into the mach 460. I bought my head unit from crutfield and you can by the adapter that let's your aftermarket head unit use the mach amps and speakers.

That plug you see is probably the plug that connected the Cd palyer to the original mach tape player/radio.

So then I don't need to worry about the plug? I really need to get those speakers working. Listening to Linkin Park with no bass really sucks.

Thanks for your help guys.

That;s the newer dashboard. The older sn95's had two seperate DIN slots....

Thanks for the pic christie. What year is that out of?

 

[laynlow200]

That's of a 2001+ mustang with the optional in dash 6 disc cd changer that comes with the mach 460 and mach 1000.

Ok, I'm an idiot. I went to Crutchfield's website and couldn't find the adapter. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks again.

mustang 70 go to ford and order the cubby hole for that space. It is only $25 dollars and is factory, so it looks factory.

That's actually what I want. I was going to have a buddy make something for me, but this is a lot easier. Thanks.

Nice, but a little more then what I want to spend right now. I was thinking of putting gauges down there eventually though. Maybe after I get the supercharger.

I hope this helps for my 98 i put in an aftermarket deck and all amps work fine. I used the Scosche FDK10 premium sound car stereo connector and the Scosche FAI-3A car stereo 2/4 channel speaker level converter.

Just want to let you know I used the above adapter on my car (2000) and all of my amps work fine with the aftermarket headunit. This box has all the connections that you need to run the amps with your head unit. I'm sure there's more ways of doing it or other parts, this is just the way I did mine.

My 99 has 2 seperate single DIN slots.
No ****ty Mach 460 here. Bought a Ford tray for the bottom slot. It was a tape deck and CD deck.
