Dont expect the 1000 to sound good on AM. It will swing in reverse and that rf amp is good for around 25w on AM. It's a sideband rig and that's where it performs very well. Loud CB stations on 11m will sound a bit crappy as well from it's narrow band rcvr & filters primarily designed again, for sideband.
Yes i know its not going to sound good on am but thats ok. Really like it so far on ssb. Cant wait to get an hf antenna set up now that i got my ticket.
How did this go? I just picked up a FT-1000MP Mark V Field that I'll have to do this to.
My Ft1000d is my go to ssb rig for 11 meters. I get great audio reports on it. The FT1000MP MK5 is a rig that a lot of operators I work are running. I really like my FT1000D for ssb. Like a very smart gut once told me if you want to sound hood on AM 11 meter get a CB radio lol.
Ham radios use the sideband modulator for AM. A compromise. It works, but won't get loud, just flat.
A radio with a separate high-level AM modulator circuit will tolerate a high audio level a lot better.
And if you turn them both down to about 90 percent modulation on AM they won't sound so different from each other.

I’m trying to find where the general coverage mod is for the FT-1000MP. Can find nothing online!
Don't know if this link will work if you aren't logged in as a member, but it's for the original FT1000

But not ALL ham radios. The Icom 7300 and many of the Right-Now better rigs with all the various onboard adjustments it comes with sound great on AM. There are others too. If you have the big bucks, the Apache Labs ANON Series SDR radios produce Broadcast Quality AM and kick everything out there's ass.
