I love the thing, the 10 and 11 are the same body wide it should fit. It sounds great.

You should use a shallow mount woofer like the Kicker 8 CVT.

That PAC piece does NOT do what the Cleansweep does. The Cleansweep is a 120 band DSP equalizer with a kick-*** line driver. The PAC piece is a pretty basic analog level converter. The end result may look similar (RCA outputs to connect to your amplifier), but the method of getting there is like the difference between a carburetor and modern direct injection technology.

Thanks,

Yes it will work. If it works for the '10, it will work for the '11.

Another question for you guys... if the stock shaker 500 comes with what is basically 2 8" woofers in the front doors (aside form the component/coax speakers (never seen what it looks like with the door card off so i'm not sure wahts behind there)

If you replaced the two 8" woofers with some quality stuff.. JL 8W3's for example, would a sub in the trunk really be necessary?

I can't imagine the door has the proper enclosures needed to really make them produce good sound either though...

Would it make more sense then to just put a set of compenent 5x7's in the door and a set of 5x7 Coaxials in the rear followed by that 13w3 in the stealthbox in the trunk? doing away with the 8" drivers in the door altogether?

Also just as an update for you all... now that I actually own a Mustang, I contacted scosche today looking for an update on their kit... they say they are 95% sure it will be released by the end of January... so who the hell knows... they say expect an MSRP of around $300 as well. - Fully customizable for cars with and without dual climate and for cars with or without heated seats.

PAC MS-FRD1 - thats what'll do it... anyone got any experience with it? How well does it work?
