Default Looking for new GT with a Shaker 100 - can't find

Does anyone know if I were to buy an existing GT on the lot that has the shaker 500... if they would install the 1000? I can't find any Mustang GT's with a Shaker 1000. I would like to get Grabber Orange or Vista Blue.

Yes they'll install anything you want on the car for a price.

The shaker 1000 is overpriced POS. Get the 500 so you get the door subs if you want and then replace that HU and 4 speakers with aftermarket if you want the better sound.

My concern is shotty workmanship though. My last two vehicles, installers did a really crappy job on the install and i ended up hearing rattles afterwards. How do I find a quality installer?

Just pay more money... Or you could always do it yourself.

+1 doing it yourself. Took me about 5-6 hours to put my Z1 in but worth every penny. I saved 200+ on install charges.

Forget the 1000!!!
$1300 bucks can get you a better setup!!!!
Why go stock anyways???

Take a V6 / GTwith a Shaker 1000 for a test ride and bring a CD with you favorite musicon it.

Turn the Shaker on and off during the test drive, you will quickly come to the conclusion that the 1000 is not worth the $1300 cost.

The only reason I have it is that it was already on the car when I bought it, and as long as it is working it is fine for my needs. But after warranty if it should fail there is no way I would install another Shaker 1000.

For that amount of money a DVD/Navigation unit is the only way to go.
