yea i am. because the mach system uses the amplifiers and doesn't go straight to the speakers. i can be done without but it's a pain in the ass

lol i think this should make sticky ;) i'm replacing my speakers in my door panels again sometime soon so i'll make a point to add some pics :tup

Sticky'd just for you :tup

yay lol thanks :)

The headunit setup seems different in my 96. Looks like I can still run my doubledin screen/headunit but just have to seperate them and put the headunit in the lower cubby.

Where was the amp located for the mach 460 system? I think mine was taken out.

Also IMO, I think FM transmitters for the ipod are horrible. Go direct.

The speakers size in the rear of the vert is 6.5 inch i just replaced them is how i know.

I hated the sizes of the holes for the rear speakers.... I had to get the guys who did a full blown custom install to make them bigger to fit 6x9s with huge magnets.

I'll tell ya - even though I have a crappy pioneer that had 1 bit digital conversion so there is always static with the radio and CDs... it pumps out some nice quality sound.

The mustang is a great platform for a Stereo build up if you don't mind some MDF in the trunk ;)

you should have a split single DIN system in ur 96, the easiest way to put a duble DIN HU in would to either go find a double DIN dash peice from a scraped 01-04 stang, or do some custom fab. and i agree that direct iPod connections are the only way to go :tup
**edit** also the amps for the mach system: 2 under the rear sound deck (coupe) and one behind the HU

good to know. 6.5" are a more popular size and a lot easier to deal with..

Personally in the rear deck, at first i just slammed my 6x9's on there and did some cheap fab work to seal it up.. but really an effort should be made to get the proper sizes for best overall performance.

Could I replace my rear speakers with 6.5s also, like wannabesaleen's vert? or are they different than mine... I just figured out that the guy I bought the car of off swapped in some sh!tty sony explode 6x9s in there and the aren't even bolted down. :mad:

and about the split singledin setup. I could just get separate mounts for the screen and head unit and put them in each compartment. Only problem is that I don't have beauty rings for the units. :bleh: So it might look sloppy.

I'm always picky about my systems. If I get the setup done I will see what you guys think. I'm wondering if any other people with 94-98s have a split singledin setup? I will probly end up getting a single din screen if all else fails.

the only real way you could pull off 6.5's without sounding like a POS is to get a 100% custom setup with custom mounts, and if ur gonna spend that money there's no reason to get just 6.5's.. in all honesty just do what I did, I went with 5x7 componant's with tweeters from hertz or another company you prefer.. they fit perfectly and i have them connected to a kicker multi-channel amp, and my Alpine HU. I have 5x7's in my doors too. the weets are even in the right places

I do have a split single DIN setup in my stang, I have a 2DIN dvd player waiting to go in but i want to find the 2DIN dash piece
