Mustang Mach 460 head unit install/wiring

[dieselstylelab 10+ year member]

Im installing an aftermarket HU in my 03 GT Mustang and I have heard there is a way to run an aftermarket head unit while still using the OEM Mach 460 amplifiers and speakers. Is there a harness I can purchase, because the shops in my area only stock a harness for running a sub and amp to the factory HU. Or since im installing the system myself can i wire it in myself somehow. I really want to avoid replacing all the speakers at this time. Thank you immensely for any help! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

I installed an aftermarket HU in my friends 00 Mustang and he got an factory amp adapter made by scosche I dont know if the amp adapters changed at all because he had the din style with a seperate cd player and you have the double din style. It works perfect but when you turn the radio on the speakers make a loud pop, so to fix that we got a resistor that I wired to the remote turn on for the factory amps and it got rid of the pop

saturn can you explain how the pop appeared? and how did the resistor fix the problem?

when the HU turned on it would make a popping noise for like a second, and everything was fine. I dont know if it was because we had another amp hooked up the the remote for his subs? and the resistor was like $1 and radioshack if you want I can get the model of it. All it did I think is delay the factory amps from turning on when the HU turned on and the sub amp turned on.

wire the input to the HU remote and the output to the amp remote and ground to a part of the body and it should work
