Are there tweeters in the doors? I know there is (what appears to be) a 6" mid (maybe 5.25), and then above that...is a grill. Is there a 5x7 in there, or maybe a 4" and tweeter?

Does anyone know for sure?

AND, where are the speakers in the back seat?

 

with the shaker 1000 I know for sure there are tweeters.

The rear speakers are on the package shelf (between the rear seats and windows)

 

Wasn't there a photo that came through this site.... the rear seats were taken out and the speakers were mounted in the floor under the seat. I can't remember where I saw it.... I'll try to find it.

 

Those were not speakers, those were access holes to the dual fuel pumps

Yet another good thing.. we don't have to drop the tank to get at the fuel up if we have to upgrade/service them

 

I thought they were subs in the doors in the 1000? 2 speakers in each door, 2 subs in each door, 2 in the rear deck, and 2 in the sub ... along with the mysterious 9th speaker ..

 

Here's the skinny, I had the pleasure of seeing a shaker 1000 in person yesterday.

It DOES have 8in Subs in the doors along with a 5.25 mid driver and a tweeter in the upper door area for a total of six speakers in the front doors.

The rear deck has a pair of 6x9's and the 2 10in subs in the trunk make 10 total speakers.

In some pre-production marketing materials it has been reffered to as having 9 speakers, They're counting the 2 10in subs as one.

The current brochure gets it right and says the shaker 1000 has 10 speakers.

It sounds great!

 

Tony, thanks for clearing that up,

 

So the holes that are under the rear seats .... those are for access to the fuel pumps, and not for speakers.... I wish I could find that picture.... I could have sworn...

 

2MustangJohn verified these were access plugs.

 

THAT'S IT!!!! those are the ones I was talking about! I've never been so excited about being wrong.

 

I just came back from the dealer where I sat in a GT w/ the shaker 500. Didn't see any tweeters. Those are some big speakers in the doors ! Almost too big.

 

Ya, it would make no sense to mount speakers under a seat. Only if they were subs but definately not anything trying to produce vocals.

 

No problemo.....you were busy driving yours

I had nothing better to do but fiddle with the stereo

 

well that's what I figured.... that they were subs... just not amped. You'll have to fogive me... I haven't had a Mustang for about 3 years now, and I forgot that speakers could be mounted in the rear deck. I'm drivin' a Bronco right now, and haven't seen a rear deck in about a hundred years.

 

That'd be some crazy butt massage...

 

some big ol' tweeters that massage the tweener

Ok, let me get this straight-

I specifically did NOT order the shaker 500 or 1000... because I wll be adding new speakers, amps, and a head unit.

My plan is to put a component set of 4.5" and tweeters in the upper door...and put a 6" mid in the lower door. 8" seems pointless, because it's too low to play anything over 100Hz really well. Especially if I am putting two 10w6's in the trunk.

Thanks for clearing that up guys.

 

They're behind the grill on the upper part of the door, in the right light you can see the 2 speaker cones. They sit at a 45 degree angle.

 

So..... I was thinkin' about adding a couple of 4" rounds up front... so that I don't lose sound quality by passing it before it gets to my ears.
