    Upgrading / Replacing MACH 460

    Hi all, I've got a 2004 Mustang with the MACH 460 audio system - I've replaced the head unit and added an amp and subs... For those of you who have [or had] this system, what did you replace the component speakers with, and did it require a 4ch amp to power them, or did your aftermarket HU do...

    Pioneer 880PRS and a couple questions

    I have found that the Auto EQ, with the stock speakers [plus, turning down the sub level], has made things sound pretty good - any other tips? Plus, the tinnitus makes it hard, if not impossible, to tune the stereo myself. Tinnitus is a constant ringing of the ears, causes high frequency...

    Pioneer 880PRS and a couple questions

    Hi all... I had a Pioneer 940MP in my last car, but unfortunately, had to get rid of it Now I have a 2004 Mustang GT Convertible [w/MACH 460 audio], with the following: Pioneer 880PRS, hooked to stock component speakers, an Alpine 800w mono amp, and through that, 2 JL 10w3v2 subs. I ran the...

    I need a few opinions on a head unit

    You've got a 940MP too, eh? Email me if you want to put some other pictures and screensavers on it... jsgames@yahoo.com

    I need a few opinions on a head unit

    Actually, I just read in the manual where it says what voltages are used, and all THREE preouts are at 6.5 volts. Therefore your math doesn't work regardless, since you assumed there were only two preouts. And yes, one of them is for subs only.

    I need a few opinions on a head unit

    4 volt preouts you say? How about the 6 volt preouts on my Pioneer deck? I do agree that you should get what you want, but you can't beat having 6 volt preouts :c) It's like having a line driver built into your head unit.

    New Setup ...Need your Advice..I am new

    I don't know what power your subs will take, but I currently have the Kenwood 729S hooked up to a 10" JL Audio 10W3 and it thumps just fine. The guys at Myer-Emco recommended the 10W3 sub, and it sounds great in my car, not underpowered at all... btw: the 729S amp hits 300 RMS, 600 peak, which...

    My system is not spl

    I would definitely recommend sound quality. That's where my system is headed. To me at least, the benefits of SQ far outweigh any SPL benefits. You can listen to your system without the use of earplugs or other ear protection, and the sound is just so much better to me than bass that...

    jl subs

    I have a JL Audio 10W3, and I'm using the Kenwood 729S amp [600 watts] with it, and that sub eats up all the power I send it... whereas the Kenwood 3003 [the blue 12"] blew after a day with my new head unit & amp. My previous setup was with the stock Ford head unit and the Kenwood 729S amp...

    Pioneer DEH-P940MP

    Yeah, the remote is a bit weird, and sometimes hard to use, especially the volume. I am much more comfortable with it now than I was when I first got the HU. Also, you're not supposed to be able to get it, but I got the PC Link Kit if you [or anyone you know who owns the new Pioneer HUs] need...

    1994 or later Mustang

    I'd say mount the subs in a row across the seat backs, as follows: The two center 10"s should be parallel to the seat back, with the two outer ones angled at around 25-40 degrees. That would look nice, and still let you use some of your trunk space. I know how you feel though... my 2001...

    I need a few opinions on a head unit

    Pioneer all the way!!! I just got the DEH-P940MP Premier Deck !!! FYI: To those who are meaning to mention the "Premier" Pioneer decks, remember that the model numbers are different. Pioneer makes the 9400 and then the 940, the 940 being the Premier model. If you have the dough, get the...

    Late-model Pioneer Head Units with OEL

    Hey everyone! Just thought I would let everyone on the board know that I got the PC Link Kit for the Pioneer HUs that have the Organic display [OEL], like the 940MP that I got. If your Pioneer head unit allows you to download animations, backgrounds, and level indicators, I can do this for...

    JL Audio Or Visonic?

    I like JL Audio subs personally... I had a 12" MTX, and that didn't sound right, so I got the blue Kenwood 12" sub, and that blew. Now I have a 10" JL 10W3 and it sounds and thumps great. Go with the JL. That, and I've never heard of that other company... lol :c)
