Is it possible to hook up an after market deck to the mach 460 wiring harness without having any problems with my speakers or amp. Ive heard that i can and ive also heard that i cant. ???? Anyone done it or anyone know. Thanks [Confused] My buttons are worn so i cant turn volume up or down.

I believe there is a metra harness that you can get from places like Best Buy or circuit city... I *think* even crutchfield sells 'em

Mine is getting completely rewired. I put in a aftermarket dvd player and it "pops" when turned on. I've tried a few different harnesses, and several stereo shops have said I need a re-wire.

I have my factory decks if you need to buy one cheap.

My 96 has an Alpine deck connected to the Mach system and works fine. It was already installed when I got the car but I think its a plug that adapts it to the system. I'll have the deck out in the next couple days and can check to see what they did to make it work.

It allows you to use your aftermarket radio's speaker outputs to signal your stock amps. This way you can continue using your stock amps and speakers.

Otherwise you would have to run new wire from your new deck's speaker outputs directly to your speakers.

 -

notice in the pic that there are two harnesses. The gray one contains your power connections (12v, ground, illumination, etc) The black one is for your speaker outputs and this one connects to the harness that goes to your stock amps.


Hope that made sense and helped...

I think it's actually eight. But don't worry about that. Each tweeter and 6x8 speaker really act as one speaker.
