Speaker Sizes Ect.. Mach 460 System Install...

badstang123 · Dec 6, 2006

Here are your options from Worst to Best.

-Leave the stock system intact

- Buy and new head unit for the stock system (This will accomplish very little)

- Buy a new head unit and buy two sets of new speakers (Preferably components in the front so you can still keep the tweeters high in the doors). Wire them directly to the new head unit accordingly

- Buy a new head unit, two sets of speakers, and a four channel amp. Run the pre-outs to the amp via two sets of rca cables and wire all speakers off the amp (A subwoofer would be done in similar fashion)

so my best bet would be running my own speaker wire inside the pannels and doors directly from the head unit ???

yes.. you should notice a pretty good difference if you do. youll also have better gauge wire then the small factory stuff

its not too hard to rewire. I didnt know about the verts having a diff size rear speaker but it makes sense. But i do know that all the mach 460 stuff pulled from my 02 is 5x7 and all the stock speakers i took out of my 95 are also 5x7 (non mach system tho)

This is what the rear convertible speaker box and speaker look like:

if you don't feel like running all that new wire, bypass the fact amps and remove them, but since the speaker wires are alreay run for you in the car, catch them where they come together behind the dash, then run your wires from there to the amp, keeps things clean... but if you want the bigger guage speaker wire, run all new.

and if you're wanting the good sound, and to run components you gotta get a 4 cahnnel amp.

you want good bass get a type r 10" and put it in a custom box, ported and tuned to 33 Hz , 33 is the best sounding for rock and all around listening and bass if you ask me.... whatever hz you tune it to is personal preference, but i highly reccomend 33.

have a single type r 10" in a custom box tuned to 33hz powered with punch 1000w and hit 154decibles

GET RID OF THE BANDPASS!!!

Well i decided i want some bass back and i have some parts left over from my 1200 watt sub set up from the back of the probe... i sold the amp... but im looking at putting one of the 300 RMS 600peak subs in the back of the vert... i dont want crazy ass bass i just want a nice sounding system... but my speakers are complete ass... i was just wondering what the sizes were in a mach460 set up in a 95 gt... i was thinking about rewiring the head unit...(there is a wire messed up some where last person did a hack job... wrong speakers wired ect.) but i think i wanna either put a full set of Memphis highs and mids in.... best sound speaker in my price range... great sounding mids and highs... and with a single audiobahn 10'' i think i will be good... i might just trade in my bandpass audiobahn set up for a single JL or something...

this is waht i was working with sold the amp for $85 because i needed some cash... i dont plan on putting in the sub/subs till i get some decent sounding highs or mids... because im not a tool... lol i had to dyna mat the hell out of the back of the car... this set up actually hit really hard... it totaled about $400 for everything... new

With what you have there, you could just do something simple...Stangnet Show thread 23

what good will bass do me if i have ****ty highs or mids... it will just be rice... pluss the amp is sold... and the box doesent fit in the vert... id like to have some trunk space 2...

Jinx · Dec 8, 2006

Our cars have a trunk

I think if you do a single sub, and you have road side assistance coverage, you should ditch your spare. Put the sub there and you should have plenty of trunk space left over.

i plan on getting rid of my mach 460 system very soon as well... I'm not really into loud bass anymore so I'm just gonna go with some 6.5" components in the front(some companies do make 5x7" components but I''ll probably just go with the bigger size) and 5.25" components in the rear with a 4 channel amp.

The rear speakers look okay, because the rears aren't really all that important. The problem with the speakers you chose for the front, however, is that they are a coaxial...not a component. While this would work, your tweeter would be mounted low in the door and not up where the original mach tweeter is. If I were you I would go with the 6.5" components that you picked as well. Make a cutout for them up in the front doors. This is exactly how I did it for my 6.5" speakers:

I think you will be far happier with the overall sound quality. It's definately worth the few extra bucks.
