frankieboo69 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I have the Shaker500 in my Shelby and i was wondering if it would be expensive to upgrade to the Shaker1000 , and what would it consist of ????? does the shaker1000 have an seprete amp mounted in the car or is it that the stereo itself put out 1000w??? and i believe that the 1000 has two subs in the trunk also where mine only has the subs in the door panels, so i think i wold have to purchase these also if this is correct??? does anyone know how much this would cost and have you had it upgraded???

sdear Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 You could probably just get an amp mounted and a box in the trunk for less money . I have the 1000, and while it is very nice....I had just a box and an amp in my 04 GT and it sounded great. If I was going to uprade from the 500, i would just go to best buy or somewhere and do it.

stump_breaker Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 From what I understand it's not just a simple upgrade. You have to upgrade the deck, run new wiring for the box from the head deck (pulling the panneling and everything) to the 2 tens. I would go with SDEAR's advice and go aftermarket. There are some pretty nice setup's out there that fit the factory location for a fraction of the cost, time and effort. There a Schoche and an MTX if I remember correctly. Someone posted them in the past. You might try searching.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT BOLTS TO THE FACTORY HOLES AND YOU CAN USE THE 500 HEAD UNIT WITH IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattInDetroit Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I had the Shaker 1000 in my 05' and have the Nav (500 equivalent) now. I honestly, nine times out of 10, don't hear the difference, here is why. The majority of my stuff is on MP3 CD's. Six of them with 50-60 songs each. Otherwise I connect my iPod. Now what do all of these have in common? As an audio source they #$@! Simple as that! MP3s even at a high bit rate like 256 or 384 just don't even do a Shaker 500 justice. It's sort of like connecting a Bose receiver to k-Mart speakers. The stuff I usually pump through just isn't of a high enough quality to make a difference. Unless you are truly an audiophile and intend to play REAL CD's the effort and cost, IMHO, just isn't worth what you'll get. Again IMHO having owned both.

SHELBY0264 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 How did you connect the rear subs? To the head unit or just splice the rear speakers? i wired the rear sub box wright to the amp that i mounted to the amp rack. if you buy a pionner amp it fits down behind the sub box and it looks factory.

ilmor Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Bear in mind, if you car about room in your trunk, the shaker 1000 subs take up a good portion of it. Most people I have spoken with recommend an aftermarket unit in lieu of the 1000, however if you want to stay w/ original Ford equipment and don't mind the loss of trunk space, and really feel like you need that bass booming in the trunk, then go for it!

I'm really impressed with the sound of my 1000, its easily the best factory system I've ever been around. The amps for the subs in the trunk are right behind the subs, and mounting everything to factory mounts should be no sweat. Not sure whats there wiring wise hopefully a pig tail to tie into in the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyPilot Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 :angry: ohhh, you guys suck just when I am trying to finish projects you spark my interest again. Since it will already be a modification, I would go with an aftermarket product if I do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is outstanding IMHO, I've had a lot of cars and usually get the upline stereo, and this one blows the others away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT BOLTS TO THE FACTORY HOLES AND YOU CAN USE THE 500 HEAD UNIT WITH IT. So is the Head Unit exactly the same except for the "Shaker 1000" logo on the front? If you add the amps and the factory Sub box do you basically have a Shaker 1000 with a Shaker 500 logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azquadz Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I wouldn't put the money into a shaker 1000. I have one in my SGT and I was disappointed when I took it home. I had a Mach 1000 system in my 03 GT and it sounded musch better than the shaker 1000. I haven't researched the difference in the two systems but I am really disappointed in the Shaker 1000. You can do better by going to a professional audio shop, and you'll be happier with the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased my sub box and amp rack on ebay, 500-700 is a fair price. the difference between the head units is the logo on the front and there is a wire and a button on the 1000 head unit to shut just the sub box off. i just fade to the front speakers and it works the same. there is no pig tail to tie in to. you most run your own wires.

ShelbyPilot Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I went driving today and cam to the conclusion I don't need the subwoffer for now. However, in my research yesterday I found there are two boxes on Crutchfield designed for the S197 Mustang. One of them looked like it would give me the bass I thought I wanted but not take up the room of the 1000. Answers to you other questions: I am in Orange County about a mile south of the Tragic Kingdom. I was fortunate enough to find out you could have Shelby Autos modify your car before it left Vegas. Eventually they will except returns but not at this time. It was $6400 installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankieboo69 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 thanx again for the info so-cal , well i guess if they are'nt doing return upgrades right now that is good so i'll have some time to save up 4 it and convince the wife that it is a NEED not a WANT!!! :rolleyes: Have a Good 1!!!!!!!!!

stwsam Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 This is the system i got from Crutchfield. The sub is a purpose built mustang 05 install. matching carpet box and perfect hardware mounts. no drilling required. The satelite receiver did have to be relocated. The amp is mounted to a seat back. i read other reviews on their site and found they had used this in 05+ stangs. it only takes up a small area on the right of the trunk, leaving much more than the 1000. For the $$$ and about 120.00 i paid a tweeter retailer to install, it will match up with many more costly systems. keep in mind the stang is pretty thin sheet metal. When you start pushing it around a great deal, they all start to sound very similar.
