Mach 460 to Mach 1000?

Brian95SVT · Apr 15, 2007

Ok so i have a Mach 460 stock in my 96 GT blah blah blah, the person who had the car put an aftermarket pioneer headunit in it and had a system in it *found this out after finding live wires left full ran thru the car when i was thinkin bout installin my own* but i was thinkin about just upgrading from the 460 to the 1000. still makes it seem like i have a stock system *which technically the 1000 is stock* but will be ALOT better sounding. how hard is it? has anyone done it? where can i get it? i looked at the viteon site *or however you spell it* and i didnt see any prices.

FEEDBACK!

Im not sure what all is involved with switching to the 1000. I would just go after market though it will have a lot better sound than the 1000 does. ANd you can make it the way you want.

from what i read about the mach 1000, you bolt it up in the trunk,the amps and 2 subs. the wiring just plugs into the 460 wiring harness. there was a article about it in one of the mustang mags. you could buy it from company that made it for ford.

would the stock headunit still work with the mach 1000?

slow-six · Jun 28, 2007

yes, the way the article read, just bolt in plug in. it must be the mach 460 wiring harness.

the mach 1000 isnt worth it, it takes up a bunch of space and doesn't even sound good...and for the price they sell at, you can get a much better system with a custum box built to your liking.

Youll need an 02+ mach harness because thats when they introduced the mach1000 system. Youll also need the head unit for that. 01 and before's harness is different from 02+.

i have read it takes some work... just go after market saves ya time and frustration in the long run!

Def go aftermaket.

Why buy a ton of stock stuff when you can get better? Boxes dont have to take up a lot of room.

I personally think the stock Mach 460 sounds awesome. I added a Pioneer TV deck in my 98 GT and it feels like I'm in the movies. I might just switch out for better speakers in the future. But for the most part, I think is sounds great. That's just me.
