This is my 4th Mustang, had two fox bodies, 1 SN 95, now a 2006 GT..... I have always upgraded my stereo Now, I have googled that hell out of the Shaker 500 system ..... I got the schematics.... but I don't know if my car has an amp, if so... where is it? Also, anyone know either (a) how to run wire from the car thru that little rubber tunnel [i know its not a tunnel] to the door or (b) what colors are the wires that I am looking for to hook up my new component speakers in the doors... (c) run it from my HU harness.... [I got a AVH-6800DVD HU] I have installed the 1" tweets in the A pillers and I want to install the 5 1/4 in place of the 5 x 7..... Any help would be great......

I believe that they are on the top of the driver side footwell. This is what they look like. __________________ Bassani Crew Member #1 Better to be judged by 12 then carried by six.

I will post pix [hopefully today] when i get done installing my system. I appricate the input guys, now if anyone knows where this amp is, that Tribaltek spoke of, so I can unhook it... that would prolly solve my audio problems

I have found the amp and sub on line. Do I have to change the head unit or does it just plug into the back of what I have?

With all the problems the Shaker's have, you may want to consider just going aftermarket.

Do this, Put a 6.5 component system in the front, amp them with something nice (we all like around 125-150rms, gets nice and loud) get another amp for two rear 8 or ten inch subs (add them to the rear) And get a new headunit, and use the headunit for the stock rear speakers. __________________ 331s burn oil and have a bad piston to head ratio. http://www.StreetChallenge3D.com/sig...?referal=1BAD1 LOL @ THIS http://www.ihateyoujulia.com/?id=0a8...27aa2c6245e4c2

On my '07, the amps are on mounted to the side of the driver footwell, on the outside wall. Right up above the pedals and steering column... makes it hell to work around. The picture posted above is exactly what mine look like. If you look on the left side of that picture, you can see the hood release... that should tell you exactly where they are. Definitely bypass these amps, but take this into consideration. If you are keeping the stock head unit, all the speakers are run through a crossover so only the deep notes go to the subs, and only mids and highs go to the regular speakers. As long as you don't try to stick components where the subs are and use the stock wiring, you should be fine.

I left the stock shaker 500 speakers in the doors and back baffle... I got a Kenwood 4 channel running my component speakers [only have small tweets in right now, A-Pillar install] the I have one 3000w Kenwood 12" sub ran by a 1800w amp... I have a Pioneer AVH-6800DVD head unit.... It sounds good, may leave it like that... 11 speakers... I can't even put it past 10 on the deck
