Speaker Ques. please help.
Stupid me I failed to by the upgradged stereo system in my 06' GT vert (base stereo only now). After several attempts to upgrade the system I truely would only like to add the (2) 8" speakers that are found in the shaker 500 and 1000 in the lower drivers and passenger door. Is anyone familiar of any easy way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

The factory 8 inch door speakers are "tuned", they include a chamber matched to the speaker. You will need door skins and probably more. They sound pretty good, but a high end after market system is gonna sound better and cost less. IMO.
Good Luck!

I attempted to to the bass tubes in the trunk w/ no effect due to the solid steel divider behind the back seat due to the vert. top. Any tips on the (4) remaining speakers to make them sound as good as the 500? {(2) dash (2) rear seat on base model)} I guess what I'm looking for is bass because the stock speakers are suprisingly clear and loud enough but bass is lost w/ the vert. top. Thanks in advance all.

I would recomend a single 10 or 12 in a nice enclosure with the recommned wattage going to it. You can get the Scoshe Box from crutchfield and find a single 12, then all you need would is a amp, wire, line convertor and you should be good.

Here you go, this one should work for ya........AudioLink Line converter That's a 2 channel 30 watt max, there's also and 80 watt 4 channel converter.
If your not really sure what your doing I'd take it to a shop, usually the only charge like $75 if that for amp install/hookup.

From there, you can address "extra" bass. But as hogpowr noted, you'll need to scrounge up a set of upgraded door panels to get the factory Shaker subs. Personally, I think you should replace the door speaker first, get an idea of what kind of real estate you have behind your door panels (there should be a lot), and then talk with a shop about doing a custom install. You can put your own 8" subs in there, put better and more powerful ones in there, and do it faster than you would be able to do hunting down the factory Shaker door panels. Cost is likely to be the limiting factor, but it may all balance out anyway.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
Best,
