Did anyone remove/upgrade their shaker sound system?
Just curious if anybody changed out or upgraded their Shaker. It's a decent sound system and all, but I had better quality speakers and a box with a cooler display in my last car. I just don't like the way factory radio looks, I like lots of electronic lights and all those cool display features So who removed the shaker from their car or replaced parts of it?

you can put in a double din 6.7 or 7" dvd indash player if you want.
the door speakers are 8" subs or you can downsize to 6.5" mids, and then where the 5x7 area is you can fit a 4" with a 1" tweeter. and take out the back speakers and put subs in. which their are endless possibilities for subs and boxes on which way you want it to be.

How do these units work? I hear a lot of people talk about a "head". Is this just the player part and radio, without the amp? And how is it that you can buy an Alpine and get the wires to match up with the Mustang? Has the wiring been standardized? Same for the hole size the radio fits in. How do you get it to fit? Is this standardized?
Any good sites out there that detail all the latest car radio standards and technologies??

people callthem head units.. people around here often like to call them decks..
to get them to fit, you need a new deck plate or face plate how ever you want to call it
no wiring for audio did not get standardized.. but basic electrical skills will get your system pumping.. for best results get an installer to do it for you.. that way there is no fudge ups
heres mine

what a timely topic! I had the Shaker 1000 and just put in a Pioneer A/V unit: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...089338,00.html
I keep all the Shaker speakers and subs/amps. They sound GREAT! Much better than I expected!!! So the weak point of the shaker seems to be the headunit (deck). I really can't believe how good the stock shaker speakers sound with the pioneer! Especially now that I have more subwoofer control than just on/off! LOL! The high pass really made a difference too... the sound is lot crisper.. not so muddy... I was figuring I would have to upgrade my speakers... but dang they sound good enough mre me!!! LOL!
Of course you know I'll have to get one of these to go with it: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...089326,00.html
To replace the headunit on a Shaker 1000 (possibly 500???) you'll need one of these harnesses: http://www.audiooutfitter.com/store/104683/70-5521.html
BTW... did i mention how good the Pioneer sounds! LOL!
