Are there any decent aftermarket amps that fit where the stock Mach 460 amps are in the trunk ? I'm not looking to spend 500 dollars per amp but I also don't want to spend 85 bux per amp either. I was thinking in the 125-250 range.

Any sugestions ?

I have one extra back amplifier if one of yours burnt out. PM me if you are interested, just pay me for shipping and its yours.

I would like to know because my tweeters in the front a probably not getting filtered properly, so I am getting feedback through my driver tweeter. It is such a pain, I have replaced the tweeters, so either I need to trace a wiring issue or it is in my amplifier..

Would it be possible to shove a smaller aftermarket one back there to filter everything except for the high frequency stuff?

Check out Soundstream Stealth amps. The smaller ones are ~9"x6", you should be able to fit one in the stock location. I am currently using two of them in my VW and they perform very well IMO. They're fairly cheap too.

I'm in the same situation, sorta. When I bought my car it had all the mach 460 stuff in it, even the head unit and single CD player so I upgraded the stock head unit to a new one but the stock 460 amps suck. From what I can tell so far, there are not any direct replacments to the amps so I plan to buy a good 4 channel amp to power the speakers and one to power a sub. You will most certainly have some wiring ahead of u. I will be starting mine this weekend.

Check this site out, has some decent info

I don't mind wiring it up at all, I just don't want to loose any more space in my trunk.... Maybe I can fit them behind the trunk carpeting in the rear quarter panel area. There is tons of space in there... I think.
