Answer by MrWakeup
Yes you should be able to. You will need an adapter…see my resources for help.

“In 1995, Ford introduced the Mach 460 sound system. The system features three separate amplifiers, driving a total of eight speakers. Four 6″x8″ woofers located front and rear drive the bass and mid-bass, with four tweeters, also front and rear, handling the highs. Integration of new equipment into a Mach 460 system can be complicated. New receivers can be installed and connected with the use of a special adapter that allows you to continue to use the existing amps and speakers. Speaker replacement is problematic, since aftermarket 6″x8″ speakers are usually full-range speakers. If you’re thinking about a complete change of the in-dash receiver and speakers, it’s best to rewire directly from the new receiver to the new speakers (or from an aftermarket amplifier to the new speakers).”

See my crutchfield link. Has some great ideas about your system and what you can do to upgrade and such!

You can but if you want a good sound then you may have to fork out for an aftermarket stereo and an equalizer. You will have to follow the instructions with your equipment as you need diagrams to help you hook everything up.
