Mach 460 replacement - wire harnesses

[MustangJunkie]

I'll be installing the Kenwood DDX7015 double-DIN DVD head unit soon and replacing the factory speakers with Infinity's. I will be using the head unit's amps (so I'll be taking out the factory amps). What wiring harnesses do I need? I know I'll have to do some wire cutting and splicing but I want to keep that to a minimum especially behind the head unit.

Thanks.

I forgot. Is there anything out there that will allow me to mount aftermarket tweeters in the front pods and rears?

Thanks.

I know of a harness kit that enables you to hook up a head unit to the existing set of factory amps and speakers. Unfortunately, those amps won't turn on if you change the resistance of the speakers connected to them(factory speakers are 8 ohm, most aftermarkets aren't). If you plan on replacing all of the speakers, about the only thing you can do is gut the wiring, and run new cable for all of your new speakers. As far as the aftermarket tweeters go, I myself have never seen a kit to mount aftermarket tweets. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to modify the existing setup to accomodate different horns. I myself love modifying things like that. A dremel can make quick work of just about anything plastic. That being said, I am about to go remove the reflectors out of my stock headlights. Good luck!

if you decide to use your mach amps, you can just solder some RCA plugs to a Ford "premium" harness and connect it the front and rear preouts of your kenwood deck. It works great for me but if you wanna bypass them, it will be a lot of work. Easiest way would be to run new wires to your speakers.
