Aftermarket Amp and MACH 460???

03-03-2000, 03:49 PM

Can my MTX amp be connected to the MACH 460? I need some bass!!! Or do I need to replace the whole thing with an aftermarket deck?

This is in a 1997 Cobra.

Thanks, Jason

I connected my Amp to my Mach 460 system. It was kinda a pain in the *** . I tried to find a set of speaker outputs going into the factory amps, without success. So I found the speaker outputs coming straight out of the head unit. They come from the large square connector with 8 pins. It has a gray shielded wire bundle going into it.
I had to break the back of the connector to get into it and splice into the wires, but it still works perfect. From the head unit I ran a set of speaker wires to the trunk where I installed a line level converter to use RCA wires for the input into my amp.

You can check out the custom intall I did at http://minot.com/~topel/stereo.htm

Good Luck

I tried the same thing as T-Bone, but after great pains, I just decided to install an aftermarket CD player so I could just run the RCA's to the Head Unit. This took way less time and sounds great.
