Mach 460, Mach 1000 Audio Upgrade, Wiring Diagrams

The MACH 1000 Audio System is the ultimate attention-grabbing, high-energy audio upgrade system. Visteon's MACH 1000 Audio System 鈥?which builds upon the MACH 460 audio platform with over 1000 watts of peak performance 鈥?delivers high-octane audio performance previously available only as a factory-installed option. The MACH 1000 combines high decibel (dB) delivery with impressive sound quality 鈥?the ultimate fun, attention-grabbing, high-energy audio platform. Like the MACH 460, the MACH 1000 audio package takes up much less trunk space than comparable aftermarket systems, allowing consumers to maximize cargo space. Perfect for high-performance sound enthusiasts, the MACH 1000 provides excellent sound quality with extremely low distortion. Bass output can be felt and heard at 65 mph in a convertible with the top down. This provides terrific bass frequency response, handling frequencies below 20 Hz. By adding four additional subwoofer amplifiers and two 10-inch subwoofer enclosures, the MACH 1000 is the audio platform of choice for audio sound lovers. The MACH 1000 throbs with 570 watts of continuous average power and 1,140 watts of peak power. All MACH systems installed in new vehicles through Visteon-authorized distributors are covered under the standard, three-year/36,000 mile warranty and can be serviced at any of the 5,500 Ford dealerships across North America. Systems installed in used vehicles are covered either through the duration of the vehicle's existing warranty or with a separate, one-year warranty, whichever is longer.

In the interior the GT option added a different instrument panel that included a speedometer, fuel gauge, temp. Engine choice is the 289 cu in (4.7 L) Windsor Hi-Po V8 with 4-barrel carburetor and a solid lifter camshaft, producing 271 HP at a furious 6000 RPM. A nimble car with decent power, but still very much limited by its Falcon underpinnings. This is the ultimate 60s Mustang, surely? No Highland Green Mustang GT Fastback here. The best choice for the second era is the 1968 Mustang GT convertible, with its more aggressive styling than the first era convertibles, they look less like a Barbie car. For power, the pick is the aging 390 CID FE (Ford-Edsel) engine, which produced 325 HP at a leisurely 4800 RPM. In Mustang鈥檚 Third Era there鈥檚 no doubt the car to have is the Boss 302, with a preference toward the 1969 model with Larry Shinoda鈥檚 subtle C design versus 1970鈥檚 clumsy hockey stick decals.

Both years carried the fabulous two-year-only Boss 302 motor, developed specifically to compete in the SCCA Trans-Am Championship against Camaro, Firebird, Javelin, 鈥楥uda and Challenger. A Mustang designed to stop and turn as well or better than it accelerated. In its fourth era the Mustang grew to what could most graciously referred to as Grand Tourer rather than its earlier Sport Coupe proportions. Regardless, the 70s Mustang Boss 351 carried one of Ford鈥檚 best motors ever - the 351 Cleveland R-Code. Rated at 330 HP, the R-Code was fitted with a four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake manifold, solid lifters, dual-point distributor, a 6 quart oil pan and cast aluminum valve covers. It had four-bolt main bearing caps and forged, shot-peened connecting rods. Virtually a race motor directly from the factory. Say what you will about the Mustang II, but Ford sold a million of them. In fact, had the Mustang II not been downsized just prior to the days of fuel embargoes, climbing gas prices, emissions controls, and Corporate Average Fuel Economy, we may not have a Mustang today.

Best bet of the 2s is the 1978 King Cobra, with the 302 CI V-8, four-speed manual transmission, an upgraded suspension with adjustable shocks, and a hood decal that can stand toe-to-toe with any Trans-Am. What鈥檚 the best 80s Mustang? Probably this one. Ford took advantage of the newly-developed Fox platform of the Fairmont as the basis for the next generation of Mustang. Of this era the real standout is the 205 HP 1985.5 SVO. The engine was a turbocharged version of the 2.3L four cylinder with advanced computer control of ignition and fuel delivery. The gearbox, suspension and steering were both heavily upgraded and the interior modified to make the SVO a true driver鈥檚 car. It was almost like the 鈥?0s had returned. Ford offered 107 track-ready 鈥淩鈥?versions of the 1993 Cobra, but only to buyers who held a current racing license. The Cobra R featured a 235 HP 5.0L engine, larger brakes, Koni shocks and struts, an engine oil and power steering coolers, and a rear seat delete. As the Cobra R was race oriented, A/C and radios were not available.
