ok so when i got my stang it already had an after market stereo in it which i took out and is goin in the wifes car now when i put my better one in i noticed two extra plugs i figured they went to the stock radio well im starting to think the stock radio was a shaker system and if so im feeling there is no need to up grade the stock speakers how do i tell if it is and do the extra speakers nolonger work without the factory stereo how do i tell cuz the wiring harnesse is only wired for 4 speakers someone please help

If you have the shaker then at the bottom of your door you will have subwoofers. Thats for the shaker 500. If its the shaker 1000 then you will have an additional subwoofer in the trunk.

So with the shaker 500, there will be 4 door speakers/subs and two speakers in the back seat area.

ok so those extra ones in the doors are subs hmmm question now is how to wire the stock amps and those subs into my head unit so they work

06HellFireGT · August 3rd, 2008, 11:15 PM

ok well with just alittle google time i figured it out .. metra makes the right harness which comes with ALL the right plugs that allows you to keep all of your shaker speakers anywho for those of yall who like me got your stangs with an aftermarket stereo with the wrong harness or put one in with the wrong harness they sell the sub adapter seprate part number 70-5522 from what ive read tho the sub kinda suck so after i get em hooked up and see how they sound i might end up changing them so ill let yall know what my opinon on it is

06HellFireGT · August 4th, 2008, 09:27 PM

well heres the verdict had to buy a whole new wiring harness to get the one peice i needed oh well was only 12 bucks got everything hooked up and i think it sounds pretty nice will sound even better after i get my 12's in the back

a little off topic.. but how hard would it be to install a 500 or 1000 in a car without either? or would I be better off just redoing it aftermarket?

I'd put in aftermarket if I didn't have the 500 or 1000. I have the 1000 and its plenty. I don't even go over half the volume. Gets crazy loud

I have the 500 and even that slams pretty hard. I was surprised coming from a honda with a full after market system.

06HellFireGT · August 5th, 2008, 04:52 PM

yeah im really pleased with the speakers and everything cuz in every other car i have owned i always ended up changing the factory speakers and with this one i have no need to

This is a new one... Mustang people trying to put more weight in their vehicles. Most want to take it out.

05mustang_TT_charged · August 5th, 2008, 06:14 PM

haha, the only reason I still have the Shaker 1000 is because it adds 30 lbs to the back the car

06HellFireGT · August 5th, 2008, 08:47 PM

well i dont know about the rest but im working towards having a nice street stang with nice power and nice sound with the nice looks to wrap it up
