Well, I thought this radio sounded weak. We demo'd a 05 GT with a Shaker500 and it sounded great for a stock setup. We bought an 07GT with the shaker1000 and I'm disappointed. I'm pretty sure somethings wrong with the subs. As a matter of fact, there is cleaner bass and better sound with the shaker turned off. With it turned on it almost sounds like the subs are cancelling each other out, you know like when you hook up a sub box and the postive and negative aren't right and the subs hardly have any sound?

So has anyone else had this problem? I suppose I will dig into the trunk tomorrow and check things out but didn't want to waste time if there is something else going on here.

Thanks,
John

Mine sound fine. You can turn the shaker on and off but you already know that.

So take it back to your dealer,thats why you have a warranty.

Not very impressed with the 1000 either.....fight rattles and it just doesn't sound as good as I expected.

Mine sounds good. I put foam tape in the areas where there was vibrations. Havn't had any vibrations. Take it to the dealer.

oxymoron?

Thats why I am going aftermarket! Get rid of the radio the speakers and the subs and replace with quality parts that are much better than what Ford ever offered. But if that is not possible than go to the dealer and have them look at it. They rate the subs with interior speakers as well as being able to produce 120 db's of sound total! That should be loud and low enough for anyone. A jet engine at full thrust is 140 db's....just an FYI

Yeah, I think I'll have them check it out. It definitely sounds better with the shaker turned off, which is the opposite of what it should be. Thanks.
