RE: Aftermarket Stereo
Why switch to an aftermarket stereo? it is possible just to add to what you have. I have the shaker 500 and added a 1600 watt amp to it along with a single 10" DVC older rockford fosgate sub.....made one hell of a difference.

RE: Aftermarket Stereo
I have 2 8" Cerwin Vega Subwoofers, Replaced the stock speakers with JL audio and added two 2" tweeters in the doors. Valor DDA-650wt DVD/Mp3/Cd/TV headunit w/XM radio all powered by a Hifonic zx8000 Amp (800 wt) w/ power capacitor. I recommend the DVD player in our cars, because a 6" unit is about the same size as our stock radio. I never had a car where I went all out on the stereo before, so when I got my Stang I pissed my wife off and got it. She got over it and my system still rocks.

RE: Aftermarket Stereo
amystery2u, How can you say the factory head unit sucks? I'm 38 years old and have owned
12 or so cars and usually the FIRST thing I do is change out the factory head unit for a good
Kenwood or Alpine, But I'm happy with the Shaker 500, I'm an '80s headbanger to this day
and Metallica, Godsmack and AC/DC never sounded so good. Hell this thing makes even
Culture Club bareable. Dunno maybe it's just me?

RE: Aftermarket Stereo
Where are the subs at? That enclosure for the amp & capacitor looks pretty cool. Nice set up.
Mine doesn't look half that cool, but sounds darn good.
