I've gota Shaker 500, want to change it out. Looking for a radio that will be an easy install, and will let me hook up my ipod. Any suggestions?

Alpine!! Sirius ready with Ipod interface and awesome audio tools to dial in the sound.

I got the shaker 1000 option...boy that sure sounds better then that 2002 silverado radio(piece of ****) i would say check out crutchfield.com.....when i was big into radio's, i used to get alot of stuff from there.....a nice DVD player would be nice with some [:-]jenna jamison playing while driving around....lol

I just installed this stereo. It's great, with good ipod controls. Definitely better than the Shaker 1000, but it made all the rattles way worse (just dynamatted the trunk and will do the doors soon hopefully.

The install was super easy. Crutchfield includes the wiring harness and frame (the cage that makes it fit Ford's nonstandard opening) so all you have to do is match wire colors and do a little soldering (or crimping) and its pretty much plug and play.

I went to look at radios the other day and a guy at the store told me I would have to replace my stock speakers on this car. Is that true or complete BS?

I think Alpine is one of the best also.

Naa you don't have to replace the speakers with an aftermarket head unit. I"m sure it would sound better with a new unit but all he was trying to do was make some more commission on you

No I agree that you will need to probably replace the speakers.....any new HU will be putting out alot more than the stock speakers can handle....on the back of the speakers they are stamped 25 Watts....plus you really wont hear that much improvement with the crappy paper speakers....it takes 150-200 to replace all 4 but totally worth it.

Go with the Alpine. It will make the stock speakers sound 100% better. Try it before you replace the speakers.
