Hmmm... I must be one of the only people that enjoys their Shaker. I can deal with the skip(only happens once in a while), but I love the 6 CD changer.

Well... part of my reason to upgrade was some more interior bling! LOL! I always thought the Shaker sound just "ok"... I am really surprised how much better my car sounds now! LOL! I really don't use the CD that much... I'm an XM junkie! LOL!

Yeah I'm impressed too by the sound, I had two 10" woofers in the trunk but I took them out cause they weighed about 70lbs. Also it wasn't bolted down so it slid all over the place.

RE: Did anyone remove/upgrade their shaker sound system?
my plans for my stereo install are thus...
re audio xxx 8" mids in teh doors
mb quart 4" qsd210 speakers with 1" tweeters.
kicker zx650.2 ampflier for the speakers. which is 325x2 rms power.
removing the rear speakers as the installation of 2 re audio 10" xxx subwoofers would massive and rediculous. I'd be removing the back seat and making an amp rack for two kicker zx2500 watt amps and the speaker amp. (about 6-6500rms watts with all the 3 amps.) the subs would face towards the trunk so you see the beautfiul subs.
THen about 200sq feet of second skin damplifier.
100ft of 1/0ga wiring. a kinetic 2400 in the engine bay (2600cca) and 2 2400 kinetics in the trunk. have to run 2 runs of the 1/0 wire from pos and neg terminals front to back, so 4 runs total. the box is the hardest part of the whole system so i'd be part mdf and part fiberglass ensuring that the it was plenty strong for the mass that those xxx subs move.
then throwing in alpine indash dvd player with the add on audio computer. but with no nav cuz i dont drive that much to get lost
no matter which way you look at it, it would cost atleast 8000$.

Right now I've got a good balance between perfmance and appearance... the new pioneer was definitely a performance upgrade... for my ears! LOL!
