u should have waited for the 2011 Mustang GT.......5.0 > 4.6........

However,having being a Mustang GT owner on the past (2008) I can tell you the shaker system ***** balls...I have seen may different swaps most use the oversized door subwoofer area for 6.5" comps and get a prefabbed Mustang sub box for the trunk - you really dont want to weigh the car down IMO with dual 12s or any heavy frame subwoofers - Id get a real HU,some 6.5s and a nice 10 in the trunk powered by a nice sized 4 ch amp or one of the kicker 3 channel deals.....keep it light and simple

The Mustang is my wife's car and I am fixing it up for her so the 4.6 vs the 5.0 is really a non issue but it would have been nice. We only had the car for about 3 weeks now and we knew the 5.0 was going to come out so at least we knew prior and made our decision rather than find out afterwards.

I really want to see if I can fit some 8's in the door to replace or upgrade since we have the Shaker 500 and yes the system *****. I have been talking to Erick here in the forum and am ot sure now if I really need the Bit One? I also kicked around replacing the HU but as you will see by the picture I do not see that happening without totally changing the look of the car.

What does everyone think about the JL box below model HO112R-W7? From what I have read here over the last few days it almost seems like many of you feel JL subs are just a step above Bose? It ships with the 12W7-3 sub which I think sounds great.

So here is what I have if I decide to go with this set up based on retail from places I have found online.

Sub: JL Audio HO112R-W7 HO enclosure with W7 Sub $999

Speakers: Dynaudio 362 $799

Amp: Arc or Audison LRX $899

Labor for the install, parts and SecondSkin unknown until I decide on the items I want installed. The JL StealthBox is also $999 and it looks much nicer but I think I will get better bass out of the larger box with the W7. I would love to get some feedback on this?

Couldve bought a real Mustang like a 69 boss 429 for that money, and did a nice system in it for 2500. Congrats on your plastic car though.

Good luck with that. My 2006 Mustang GT had me removing the spare and the trunk latch just to get a single 12 in there. Between that and the 25 to Life Power 1000 that was in the trunk, I couldn't even put a gallon of milk in there.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
