2005 GT Audio/Sound System

Does anyone have any info about the possible sound system in the new GT? I've read that the GT will come with a 6 disc in dash CD/MP3 Player. Will the head unit come with preamp outputs so a amplifier and subwoofers could be used? I'm also wondering how many speakers will be in the car, and the sizes of them.

I believe the GT comes with a 500 watt stereo, with an optional 1000 watt "shaker" sound system.

not sure about preamp output/etc, but i know the V6 deluxe and the GT deluxe both come with an in-dash single disc cd/mp3 player, while the V6 premium and GT premium come with the 6 disc in-dash cd/mp3 player. As far as I can recall the shaker 500 comes standard in the premium models and that includes 6 speakers. the shaker 1000 may be standard in the gt premium and that includes 9 speakers. the shaker 1000 might only be an option you can purchase though. i've got the mach 460 6 speaker system in my 01 V6 vert which sounds decent. i'll be going for the 1000 watt 9 speaker hookup for my torch red or sonic blue fully loaded gt. and play my cruisin' cd on the way home from the dealership. mustang sally, born to be wild, magic carpet ride, etc.

Delphi is also providing four other products on the new Mustang including the intrusion and inclination sensor module, smart electrical distribution center, 6 CD in-dash audiophile radio and the Delphi passive occupant detection system. Two Audiophile systems are available in the Mustang, a Shaker 500 with 500 watts of peak power and the Shaker 1000 with 1000 watts. On cars equipped with either system, each door has its own subwoofer in a ported enclosure. This allows the door-mounted woofers to produce more "thump" than if they were housed in the bare door. The 1000-watt version adds a mounted, ported enclosure in the trunk that includes two more subwoofers.


Both systems include an in-dash six-CD changer that has the capability to play discs with MP3 computer files. This allows customers to play as many as 200 compressed music files from one disc, making the Mustang’s six-disc changer capable of becoming its own jukebox with more than 1,200 songs, or 60 hours of music.


In the trunk, the subwoofer enclosure for the 1000-watt system takes up significantly less space than in the last Mustang. Computer-aided engineering enabled developers to keep its interior volume the same (to produce the same bass) while taking up less usable space in the trunk.

Sirrius Satellite will be optional.
