is it worth it?

[masterchief2003]

would it be worth it to put the panasonic cq-df202u (45w X 4) in the place of the stock mach 460 head unit in my 01 gt with the 460 system?

i already have the panasonic unit so all it would cost is the install.

should i do it?

and will it plug right in or will there be more parts to buy?

sorry i'm an audio newbie.

I think to get the best sound out of your aftermarket head deck you'll have to bypass the factory amps. I just rewired my whole car and ran moster speaker cable to all of my speakers from my panasonic, sounds awesome!

there are factory amp bypass kits, easy install or a shop can do it easily. Can direct install an aftermarket headunit fine without bypassing the amp but might lose a little bit of sound quality.

i'll try that

When I installed my ph6300 pioneer deck it woke up the mach 460. I didn't need to bypass anything. Just switched decks.
