No one has answered this out of all the people who have asked in the past so maybe tech will help! My Mach 460 doesn't work it has highs but the door and rear bass do not work. I am not the original owner so I don't know what they may have done. I am trying to put the car back the way it was from factory. The amps are connected with factory plug ins but I dont know if someone bypassed them in the wiring or where to look. please help

You might consider just taking it to a good stereo shop. They can probably fix it quickly and cheaply if it is just bypassed amps.

Ok, you may want to first pull your radio out and check to make sure that none of the connectors have come loose in the back of the radio. If you have already done that or if none of the connectors are loose, then you can check the wiring harness plugs that go into the box thing that has the amps mounted in it (in the trunk). There are four harness plugs. One on each end of the 'box' and two on the 'back' (side facing the backseat when you pull it down). Make sure all those are connected and that the harnesses behind the radio have not come apart. There's a start .. Fuses too maybe?

Does it have the factory radio or aftermarket? If aftermarket, you could probably just rewire it good ... if stock then different story.

If you have a camera, take pictures of wiring ... pics always help

I dont know what it is but the bass speakers which are controlled by the rear amps do not work.

is there an aftermkt headunit on there? You did say you're trying to put it back to stock which means there's something that's changed

No is stock but the factory speakers dont work like maybe someone had a head unit in and then took it back out when they sold it. I figured they didnt connect the amps but they are plugged in.

Amps may be blown. Happened to me when I got my car used. They suck anyways. Your better off without them or going aftermarket.

Thanks 98GTBLUE it was the amps. I got a set from a friend so now the Mach 460 is up and running.
