Replace Mach 460 Head Unit

I have a totally aftermarket Kenwood Deck in my 96 GT w/Mach460. They just had to put in some kind of lil adaptor. I don't remember it costing much. Don't let anyone convince you to put in an amp since your Mach460 has either

1 or two amps already.

Two amps... wanna see what they look like?

After some more digging on the net I've found it doesn't look very promising.

For 2001, Ford changed how the 460 was set up and all the adapters that worked previously no longer do. From then on there have been some creative solutions.

I found the following How-To:

What are the odds that any car audio shop will follow those instructions in order to install a new head unit for me? I no longer have the time or the patience to do something like that myself. A $400 headunit purchase and upgrade is something my wife will sign off on; while a $800+ new stereo is something she won't.

Yep, Kate, I've wanted to see your amps for awhile now! ;) Seriously, I'd like to see what the amps in my 96 look like!

Oh man.. I looked and looked, then looked again. Damned if I can find that photo!

Of course, all you have to do is pull your back seat, there they are. Behind the upper part. If I find it, I'll let you know.

Sorry! Kate
