ok i plan on replaceing the system sooner or later i have 2 componet sets of speakers would it hurt the system if i through in the speakers and crossovers? also i read that the amps run at 3 ohms so that mean the speakers run at 6 right well what if we wired them up so that each speaker runs at 8ohm which puts it down to 4ohms on the amp. would it sound good? with an aftermarket deck it you should be able to push more power from the amps right has anyone done this? im thinking of trying it but i need to get a deck first so it will be a lil wile. i figured let em run at 4ohms per amp intill i get the deck. appionions please. ill replace the the system later its just not top priority i just figured might as well use what i have sitting arround.

i will be getting a set of speakers for mine too and i'm just going to get some good speakers and wire them the same. i've never seen 3 ohms, i'm no pro though. i would just replace them with good speakers.

I tried running component speakers in my system about two months ago but I did it without using crossovers. Bad idea....anyway I went back to the originals. What your wanting to do I don't know if it is possible. Everything I managed to find dealt with mainly hooking up a sub to the system(which I did). Your best bet would be to go google "mach 460" and see what you come up with. I think though the majority opinion is if you want to change the deck you have to swap out the amps.

I'm no audio extremist by any means, but I changed my deck to a nice JVC MP3 player


I ran the speakers that were running off of the front amp straight off the deck since the deck is 50Wx4. Then had a couple of 250w bridgable amps that I am running one 10" sony explode sub off of one, and the four factory subs off of the other. It sounds great to me, and loud enough to bounce the change in my cup holders without any distortion. But again, I'm no expert.
