Isn't the shaker 1000 the same as the shaker 500 with tthe only difference being the extra two subs and amps in the trunk.
IMO it sounded mildly better only because it had the sub bass in the rear.
I wouldn't call it a premium sound system though.

The shakers systems are basically a stock system with subs...nothing really special.

 

While I wouldnt call it that either. the OP is saying he payed alot of money for his shaker 500 system when its standard on any mustang with leather interior. Really the best stock sound system I have heard is the stock bose system in a porshe 911. All the car companys say they have premium sound. The bose in my truck is exactly as yall are describing abou the shakker system.

 

Shaker 500 system isn't the entry level stock system. And the Shaker 1000 over the 500 would hardly make much difference. With the sync system in there and having 6 discs....You'd think they could put up at least a marginal effort with the speakers. This is the kind of stuff you bought from radio shack 30 years ago.

By the way...as the saying goes since the 70's or so....

"No Highs...No Lows....must be Bose"!!!!!

 

No its not. But its also standard. You dont pay lots of cash for the radio. Also go look at any stock or "premium" radio from dodge, ford, toyota, gm, honda, etc. 99% of them are paper. Except the kicker system in the charger and challenger. But you have to get the SRT8 (40K plus) to compete with that.

 

Interesting, I was at Best buy the other day and they only listed the two 6x8 positions, and not the subs replacements...

 

I'd like to see an adapter for the pioneers also. Anyone have any pictures.
Is the centre stack panel for the Ford GPS system available and would it work with double DIN radios?

Cheers.

 

I just had my door speakers replaced with a set of Infinity 6822CF's. I had it done at BestBuy. Speakers and install came to just under $200. I asked about having the deck and subs replaced but the consensus was that the door speakers were going to get the best bang for the buck.

The improvement is pretty dramatic with the range now present in the mid's and highs. I'm working on getting the right bass setting though. I may want to look into replacing the subs some more.

I'm coming from the Monsoon system that's installed in the Solstice GXP. it's more of a component system with tweeters in the a pillar and a sub behind your back. all that with the small cabin made it a pretty awesome system.

 

I really wish someone would do a DIY and post photos of speaker replacement. I've completely replaced all the audio in several different cars but none of them were brand new vehicles.

 

Here ya go AJ,

Let us know how the install goes!

 

That was a good write up for the front doors.
I have had mine off and those two panels had me lost for a minute.

I'm pricing new speakers for the doors, rear deck, a sub and amp for the trunk. When I get them I'll try to take some pics of the rear deck install.
