...These are taken straight from the 2007 Mustang build sheet.

I have never had any (skipping) problems except that it would not play some MP3 tracks so I reripped them using a different / better program and they play alright now.

If you upgrade from a base system to a 500 you are goin to need new door pannels and the subs that go in them as well as wiring for the subs run to the new headunit.

Me too! I started ripping my entire CD collection (600+, and also some friends' and library checkouts) to my computer a couple years ago and now have 10,000+ songs on it. I backed up all the songs to CD-Rs so I didn't have to go through the ripping process again if my computer ever crashed, and so I've had these 80+ backup disks (approx. 100-130 songs per disk) sitting in a spindle on my desk serving no purpose except backups. Now with the MP3 player included in my Shaker 1000, it's SOOO awesome to FINALLY be able to put them to use. My wife and I took a trip from Seattle to San Francisco last month (12 hours one way), and we popped six of those backup disks in the player and NEVER had to change any of them out until after we arrived. Six disks lasted more than 12 hours!!!

Anyway, I don't mean to change the subject or purpose of the thread -- just wanted to echo what LX200 said. Awesome feature.

Back to the 1000, it does sound great, but I don't like the fact that I can only adjust bass and treble. If there was an equalizer included, I would be completely satisfied....but still pretty damn good for a stock system.

I bought a Shaker 500 for my V6 on eBay for $500 w/ all 8 speakers. It had an error due it being shipped badly so I got the Shaker 1000 at no additional charge.

that sounds sweet with the no additional charge for the 1000. I originally wanted the 1000 but the mustang I got had the 500. I love it. Sometimes I wish it had a little more bass, but that is just to make people jelous. The sound is awesome in the 500; however, I wouldnt swich to the 1000 if I already had the 500. The difference in the price is quite a bit and it is only two 10's with a 500 watt amp. You could get two 10's in a box (alot better 10's than what would come in the 1000) and a 500 watt or better amp and have it installed and still have money left over for the price you would pay just to upgrade to the 1000. To me its not worth it. I will probably just by like one 12" sub and a 750 watt amp and be done with it. that would be more than enough in a mustang and probably would be much more than a shaker 1000.

I am going to do the same thing. I'm going to go with the MTX Thunderstorm box that goes where the shaker subs go in the truck, so I still have the storage and go with a Rockford Fosgate P1 12" Sub and just get an amp and the adapter for the shaker 500 head unit so that i can hook up an amp.

that is probably what I will do except since I have a convertable, I will go with a custum box that fits under the metal container that holds the top when it is down. it isnt really big enough to put anything under it so it is pretty much useless for storage, but there is enough volume in there to push one 12" I think.
