This used to be my vehicle, I believe the problem is that either the paper in the speakers has dry-rotted and cracked (120 degree temps here in the desert), or the head unit is dirty (sand from the desert here). The system was a complete oem mach 460 setup, speakers, harness, amps, head unit, etc. The tweeters I mounted behind the dash speaker grills, not in the doors under the mirrors. The 10 disc changer was from the same year town car, I simply grafted the oem changer harness into the oem mach 460 system, not hacked as I used the engineering schematics from both vehicles (not the evtms). The system used to sound tremendous when I first installed it back in the 90's, as I said before, I suspect time and heat has taken it's toll. FYI, I have another new mach 460 system that came out of a mustang convertible of the same era, all speakers, amps, harnesses, head unit/cd player, etc. All sitting in boxes...


So it seems an easy approach would be to check through the speakers and headunit to see what needs replacing and just buy Mach 460 replacements off of ebay (they're pretty cheap) and see what that gets you.  That'll save you from re-wiring everything and will sound pretty darned good.

I would agree, or after determining what the problem is, he could ask  me for replacements...although I believe he is currently concerned with bigger issues.

That was what I thought, however I believe his last post indicated that he was going to fix it...
