[QUOTE="2000GTSTANG, post: 15414412, member: 49495"] Thats going to sound terrible the way you describe wiring it. Also, your issue may be the Jensen radio itself as all the filtering is handled in the stock HU. I have a double din Pioneer (3 year old model that cost $350 ish) wired to the stock Mach 1000 system in my car and it sounds pretty good IMO. It could be better but I dont feel like re-wiring the entire system. If you want to replace the entire 460 system, then I would do it this way or a variation of it. Replace the front door speakers with a 6x8, 6.5", or 5.25" component speaker set. Install the tweeter where the factory tweeter is and the woofer in the lower door. You can do the same for the rear or just install a set of coaxial speakers in the rear deck. Run the front and rears off the HU or install a 4 channel amp to power them. Finally, I would add a sub in the trunk with its own amplifier for the lower frequencies. EDIT: I see you dont want a sub. So in that case, I would keep the 460 stuff and try another HU. Youre not going to get any decent bass out of aftermarket speakers running off the HU amplifier. [/QUOTE]
