Nice writeup, sparkie! And KPierson. Wasn't anybody else that I could see... battery dies every few days - Page 3 -- posted image.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

A friend of mine just had a similar problem, we used a voltmeter, and started pulling fuses until we could isolate the circuit...

Final solution, was a rear amplifier, for the rear speaker...I understand this is a common problem on these cars...

Well finally got around to checking the problem after the winter. Did a few tests and found that one of the rear factory amps power supply had gone bad. Sometimes it would shut off but most of the time it was staying on and drawing power, and thats what was killing the battery. So for the mustang guys out there with the Mach 460 setup check that out for a dead battery problem like i had. So out with the old amps and time for the good ol' oldschool 250 HHCA to go in their place and new speakers.

I wonder where i am an idiot is to sound off on all of this... He's usually right there with an answer or a very helpful suggestion!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

No thanks for the amp's to get fixed they are not worth it they are complete crap. Rather do the aftermarket stuff as I already have it.
