Subject: How hard is it to upgrade from a Shaker 500 to a Shaker 1000??

Assuming you have all the parts..

How hard is this??

Just a plug-in/bolt-in?????????

Aside from the extra subwoofer setup in the trunk, What makes this different from the Shaker 500 setup??? Different Amps????


Has anyone done this yet???

It's not just a plug in deal. You have to change to a shaker 1000 harness, and there are some issues with the the cpu recognizing the change. If you do it, let me know. I have a shaker 1000 trunk mounted subwoofer and amps I'd like to sell.

I would think you would be much better off buying an aftermarket stereo. I would guess the quality would be better and the price cheaper.
