Mach system going bye bye!

[Mediamonkey11]

Hey everyone, I'm still getting this new to me '00 expedition EB set up the way I'd like, and the Mach system has got to go. Sounds....ok, but I'm used to 3000+ watt systems with really good sound quality lol

Does anyone know what impedance the stock Mach speakers are? They have decent sound quality and for now to save money I'm wondering if anyone has ever amplified them? If so, how'd they sound with how much power?

Also, does anyone have a wiring diagram for the Mach system? I'd like to avoid running words to all doors but will if I have to. Where's the factory speaker amp? I know where the sub amp is. I'm assuming there's a separate one for the speakers... Is it the deck itself?

I'll definitely keep everyone updated on the build

the factory head unit is the speaker amp in my 99 I have a pioneer hu and the speakers are fine all the way up and you can use the existing cable for sure just get adapters from metraonline.com

mine are amplified with a alpine 400w amp sounds good 2 channel.... bought it that way

Cool thanks guys, I'll likely use the fronts as midbass drivers for a separate set and the rears as they are. They'll be getting 75W RMS each.

Already ordered the metra harness without subwoofer integration as well as a dash kit!
