Lost & Found (1999)
How do I install a sub-woofer in my mustang that wont blow within a week?
I have a 1999 Mustang GT convertible with the mach audio system. I also have an alpine m-450 amp. I have seen the amp work fine on other cars so I know the amp is fine. For some reason every time I hook up a subwoofer to this amp, it will take about a week and then blow the sub. I have went through five sub-woofers in the past few months and I really want to have a good sounding sub but I don’t want to keep losing money on this.
I know it could sound like a wiring problem but I have wired many sub-woofers before and they have all worked perfectly. I even got a new wiring kit to make sure it’s not the wiring. I have a stock deck and I had to slice wires in the back by the stock amps to make it work. Can anybody help me find a way to not blow my subs anymore. Oh and btw I dont crank them loud and the subwoofers I buy can take more power than I feed to them.
agreed, the mach 460 system is a pita, You cant run the stock amp with and after market amp. Either switch it back to stock or buy a new headunit and run all new wires from the cd player to each speaker but even then i suggest getting aftermarket speakers also because from what ive heard the stock speakers run at a weird ohm. Also when using a aftermarket cd player and speakers you CANNOT reuse the stock amps, it just wont work.
