[QUOTE="TcM-668, post: 84796, member: 2854"] From what I understand, the difference between the Mach460 and the base line unit is an extra set of cables or two that go to the amp and such...on mine, it had the connectors for the "Premium" sound system in addition to the base stuff. Extra speaker cable harness, etc. It should be fairly simple to just drop in a factory system, or drop in an aftermarket using harness adapters. The harness adapter has a factory connector on one side, and bare wires on the back side, and basically would emulate a factory head unit. that way, all of the power, ground, antenna power, etc are all right there, tie that into your stereo harness, and just plug it right into your factory connector...same applies to the speaker harness connector. On the speaker side, Ford uses a funky 2 conductor connector for the speakers, you could just cut them off, and tire your wires into the cut end, stuff the bare wire to the speaker into the connector and tape off, or look for a speaker connector converter. It does the same thing as the radio adapter, and would just plug right into the factory connector. I'll take some pictures of my 93 that is pulled apart, and post 'em...so you'll have some idea of what to look for... Don... Now I need to figure out where to tie in the clock... [/QUOTE]
