[QUOTE="RonX91, post: 7721996, member: 641258"] Appreciate the info. I think the only thing that would become hard to reach would be the wire harnesses for the rear ABS, at least thats what I think they are. The two wires that run down under the rear seats and run in to a clip that can be detached. The only thing wrong with the Shaker 500 head unit is that the black paint is peeling off one of the buttons, but thats very minor. I've seen some other mustangs that have it way worse so I guess mine is in really good shape. I just don't want to get some aftermarket stereo that makes my car look rigged and cheap. I'd rather keep as close to factory looking as possible, until you look in the back seat anyways. :P As for grabbing the signals off the factory amps, I did try that out and it worked well with a cheap amp and sub I used as a test, compared it with taking the signal off the rear speakers and didn't really notice too much of a difference in quality. I went ahead and ran wires from the factory amp to under the rear seat just to be able to compare when I get the system installed. I'm going in to a shop a good friend of mine works at tomorrow in Dallas to talk my plans over with him and another guy to see what we can come up with. I originally wanted the subs to point straight up but now I'm thinking I should angle them towards the seats. We'll see I guess. I'll update this thread with what we come up with when I get home tomorrow. Also, will I need to be upgrading my battery? I can definitely do it eventually but I didn't plan on doing it right away, along with the rest of the stock wiring (the big 3 I guess). The amp will need to max out two alpine type r 12's, so I'm guessing somewhere around 1-1.2k rms. I previously had a cadence 1000rms @ 1ohm and didn't really notice any dimming or the voltage gauge dipping down so I think I'll be good with the stock battery. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
