you will need to buy a line output converter [from your local stereo shop] you'll need to find the two factory amps in trunk look for BLACKW/PINK STRIPE IS NEGITIVE,AND ORANGE W/RED STRIPE IS POSITIVE, LEFT SIDE Amp. .And FOR RIGHT SIDE BLUE W/ GREY STRIPE is positive and tan is negitive You'll need to wire in the line output converter see direction w/ converter tap into wire listed above BUTT ONE SMALL PROBLEM THE MACH460 SYSTEM HAS BASS AUTO LOUD FEATURE THE MORE YOU TURN UP VOLUME THE MORE BASS THE FACTORY SYSTEM PULLS OUT THAT INCLUDES THE BASS YOU ADD [IT IS SO YOU DON'T BLOW FACTORY SPEAKERS FORD SAVES $ WHILE SPEAKERS ARE UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY ,COOL ...NOT GOOD LUCK BY THE WAY I RUN CAR STEREO SHOP IN FLORIDA ULTIMATE AUDIO WWW.ULTIMATE.AUDIO.COM CHECK IT OUT 01SHMS2 shmGTs237960.7435300926
